With our project, we work on a very dry but still relevant topic for young people: human rights. We are making this topic more accessible to young people, using non-formal activities and innovative tools, which appeal to their tastes.

We think it is worth stating that one can learn faster about human rights if the learning process is enjoyable. Music is not only very attractive to young people in the usual way but also helps them develop cognitive learning – especially in terms of logical thinking, memory, abstract thinking and, of course, creativity.

That is why music is the first ingredient to develop our methods and tools. Music is a universal language and a great tool to talk about more challenging topics and can generate strong emotions. Keeping in mind that this website is a product of an international project, music was a base to touch on interculturality and all the differences and similarities we can think of. Within the music, we have made a strong foundation for tolerance and solidarity, which were the main points of our cooperation.

We know that songs convey messages through lyrics. The music makes a decisive contribution to internalising them. The emotionality conveyed through music temperatures underlines the message or sets contrasts. Different styles of music can encourage young people to listen to the lyrics and songs produced, share them, discuss their contents and increase their effectiveness.

Learning human rights is also always a peace-building activity, which is highly beneficial for young people, as we are facing the growth of radicalization in public spheres and political life all over Europe.
