4 December 2017 - Annual Gala dinner and Concert of the InternationalYehudi Menuhin Foundation, BrusselsA dialogue of souls around the Mediterranean Sea

A unique musical production bringing together

musicians from diverse cultures guided by

Grand Maestro Jordi Savall, who embodies the

same values as Yehudi Menuhin (sharing,

respect of diversity, co-creation and intercultural

dialogue). Musicians from Israel, Syria, Turkey,

Greece and Spain will perform a musical

dialogue which includes songs of Christian,

Sephardic, Ottoman and Arab-Andalusian origins. Prompted by the large flows of migrants and refugees

throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, this theme aims at raising awareness of the cultural richness

of the countries bordering the Mare Nostrum. The concert will demonstrate how music can serve an even

more prominent role in cultural diplomacy.

EUROPEAN PROJECTS

THE META PROJECT « Minorities Education through Art »

The META project « Minorities Education through Art » led by the

International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation aims at providing a deep

knowledge of effective projects and tools that use different art

forms to reduce disparities in learning affecting children from

minority groups including Roms. It also aims at developing an

innovative and collaborative teaching methodology for European

teachers that will contribute to social cohesion, European

citizenship, social economic inclusion and economic growth.

The META project is based on the lessons drawn from successful projects such as ARTinED (learning

scholastic disciplines through arts) and ART4ROM (share the richness of Roma culture through arts), as

well as on the long term achievements of the MUS-E programme in Europe.

With the META project, the IYMF aims to combine, share and scale up the good practices from these 3

different approaches, so as to merge the experiences and make them more convincing.
