Music crosses border 2002

– Cultural exchange between Denmark and Poland.

Project description

Two promising Danish amateur bands play in Poland, as two promising Polish amateur bands give concerts in Denmark.

Why ?

- To give promising bands the opportunity to perform for an international audience, and make contacts across borders.

- To give the youth of both countries, an opportunity to reflect over our differences and our similarities.

- Cultural exchange !

Who are we ?

Through an international workcamp this year, in Denmark, I met Kasia.

Kasia is from Poland and I’m from Denmark. Together we agreed to try to make projects between our two countries.

This is our first project, and we are very eager to show that projects like this are a good idea.

When ?

The project is estimated to take place in 2002.
