Wake Up
A Force for Change: The Impact of Culture and Creative Art on Community Cohesion

Wake Up is a vastly important international two year project with a goal of promoting inter-cultural dialogue through training of cultural leaders, supporting mobility of artists and the creation of respect for cultural diversity.
Wake Up is a project to be developed through 6 capital international events, partnership meetings and steering group. Through these activities we will promote co-existence and respect for different cultures and beliefs, create opportunities for artist mobility and encourage dialogue between practitioners and policy makers so that music and the creative arts are used as an integrated and effective tool in achieving social cohesion. A strong partnership between participants and coordinator will provide a solid platform for achieving these goals.
