Folk music and youth exchange

A Leader area in Sweden is interested in organising a folk music summer course and youth exchange. One part of this exchange will be done exclusively between Sweden and Finland.

Our strategy focuses in promoting entrepreneurship within tourism, added value on local products, nature, culture & also in local initiatives &cooperation. The Study & Learning Association Bilda Gävle-Dala is since 2002 running a large folk music activity in cooperation with the Leader area in the Hälsingland county. We are looking for a Finnish partner to expand the existing TNC which already includes northern England & Bretagne.

Step one: to find a folk music teacher who can participate in a summer course in Järvsö in the summer 2010, to teach tunes from Finnish folk music in a team of teachers from Sweden, France and England. Step two: planning for a larger project with a youth group of 25-30 participants from 4-8 countries for summer courses in Hälsingland (Sweden), Northumberland (England) and Bretagne (France) in 2011& 2012. In the end, summer 2012, a music tour with concerts in several countries will be arranged.
