2. UNITED IN MUSIC AND THROUGH THE SONGS AND DANCES UNDER THE SKY OF EUROPE SINGING AND DANCING CONTESTS 2009 - 2011

3. In our project, the study, both historical and geographical, has a major importance. To become “citizents of Europe” we must learn to respect the traditions and customs of the old continent. To “do our share of the work”, we have to inform ourselves and to present our partners what we have learnt. We want to learn. We want to know. We want to practise.
