Music breaks language, culture and age barriers! It is an amazing way to spread joy, peace and tolerance as well as integrate people!
ProPace Aarhus
I think singing is the best way to connect and integrate people! Therefore I developed a music community – an amateur choir, which is connecting internationals through music!
Together with volunteers we developed the project to reach different groups in the society. We were singing in retirement houses, making workshops an singing in refugees centers, in the culture houses and even on the streets!
We went together to Norway to drive around in a camping van, sing in the streets, forests, camping places – wherever we could to spread the joy of music.
To connect even more we sang in different languages and you would be surprised how much easier it is to flow with a foreign language with the music!
Members claimed that thanks to the choir they didn’t miss their home as much and that ProPace filled the gap of not having a family in Denmark. Moreover, they felt bigger motivation, passion and drive for every day life!
ProPace inspired govermental institutions to create a project with 10 music communities as ProPace all over Denmark for integration !This project shows the power of music! It breaks language, cultue and age barriers!
I led Fall in love with Poland campaign after work, voluntarily – to fulfill my inner mission of showing creative and fascinating Poland !
I proved another time that music, art and food are great ways to integrate people!
Fall in love with Poland
In 2018 Poland was celebrating 100 years anniversary of regaining independence. There was nothing going on in Aarhus to celebrate this occasion of freedom, democracy and United Europe. I set my goal – showing Danes and Internationals creative and fascinating Poland and use art, food and music as a form of integration.
After gathering a group of volunteers, we started vigorosuly leading social media campaign, crowdfing campaign, getting sponsors and leading PR campaign!
The campaign grew enormously! We got interest of Polish National TV, Danish newspapers for instance stiften.dk (you can check an article about the project if you speak Danish, here), Polish Tourism Organisation, Aarhus Municipality. Crowdfunding campaign gained success so we could make a huge event to let people exerience Poland in Denmark! Check a video on the left.
