Our project aims at the promotion of intercultural tolerance, and wishes to strengthen mutual understanding and respect for each others cultures by celebrating the cultural diversity of the world. We believe that being exposed to the culture of the other can indeed contribute to the elimination of preconceived ideas, racism and intercultural intolerance.
In addition, we would like the people to pay attention on the importance of sustainability and environmental protection and other burning issues of the planet.
The main objective is that the people who come into contact with our projects, bring more tolerance, humanism and environmental consciousness into his/her everyday life.
The main project is the Drum Festival – International World Music Gathering. In 2009. there is the 8th festival and it is evolving year by year. This year we plan a 3 day long Festival which hosts percussion-based world music concerts and dance performances, dj and visual performances, dozens of workshops (music, dance, fine arts, Hungarian traditions etc.), exhibitions, civilian village concentrating on burning issues related to globalization, human rights, climate change, sustainability and the protection of the environment. All of these are live video streamed to the internet and fully documented (photo, video and audio).
We have additional activities during the year, like cultural radio shows for non-profit radios, webportal developing to publish the multimedia content recorded at the Festival and side-projects and create an audiovisual database of the artists and themes related to the Festival.
