ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Songs for Change project is an Erasmus+ co-funded project to promote EU values through music. The project runs for two years (05/2022-05/2024).

Songs for Change gives young people and youth workers an opportunity to learn about EU values through music, express their views on important issues, and become active change makers by producing Songs for Change and music videos reaching out to peers, community stakeholders, and policymakers.  

 It is developed by a Consortium of 7 partners from Italy, Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Belgium, Portugal and Slovakia who have complementary expertise in the field of non-formal education, youth empowerment and music.

The project is based on a learning model that combines music and non-formal education, thus targeting both the intellectual and emotional levels. The learning model draws on 4 phases: Learn, Create, Produce, and Advocate (LCPA). This method enables young people to understand, promote and implement EU values through music and advocate for change. Four steps of the model correspond to four Project Results – a compact knowledge about key facts and figures around EU values and music in a youth-friendly style and available in diverse formats: as a toolkit, handbook, webinar series, and video tutorials.
