Project Description
This initiative revolves around crafting musical instruments from repurposed materials—items rescued from kitchens, attics, or even discarded waste found in city parks.
With these handmade instruments, a collective of “non-musicians” will be formed. Through a series of ensemble workshops, participants will explore rhythm together, practice listening to one another, and ensure that no one is left behind.
Later, volunteers will share these workshops with primary school children and with individuals attending a day center for people with cognitive disabilities. The project highlights music as a tool for inclusion, while also drawing attention to environmental sustainability.
Accommodation, Meals & Transport
The hosting organization will provide food and lodging in line with ESC standards. Volunteers will be housed in a spacious apartment in Altamura, sharing double rooms.
Training & Activities
Volunteers will collaborate as a team, exchange knowledge, and embrace values such as empathy, creativity, and cooperation. Accommodation, meals, and pocket money are covered by the ESC program.
Activities will be guided by experienced youth workers, who will deliver task-specific training and organize intercultural sessions.
Participant Profile
The project is designed for young people with fewer opportunities, ideally those experiencing their first international volunteering activity. Applicants are encouraged to connect with a supporting or sending organization in their home country or region.
No prior expertise is required—only curiosity, a willingness to share, some basic manual skills, and openness to meeting new people.
This is not a project for professional musicians, but rather a celebration of music for everyone. Creative individuals with an interest in recycling, sustainability, and zero-waste practices are especially welcome.
