\"\" <\/strong>In September and October the international musical group Gen Rosso<\/strong><\/a> made stops in Italy and in the Czech Republic. This tour was part of a European project for secondary schools that involves students from half of Europe in a unique and fascinating adventure. In Udine, Italy, thanks to the \u201cArts & Culture Reshaping Urban Life\u201d project, 16 youths worked together with Gen Rosso for three days as they performed their musical \u201cStreetlight.\u201d As one of the participants explained: \u201cEach one of us has a role. If you know how to play an instrument, you shouldn\u2019t be afraid to play and, if anyone doesn\u2019t know how to play well, he or she shouldn\u2019t be afraid of not being at their best. . . everyone has a place here.\u201d <\/em> Turning personal talents into a common resource for everyone is one of the results that Gen Rosso is often able to obtain during these events. The youths from Bohemia know this firsthand, after having participated in the \u201cSilni Bez Nasili \u2013 Strong Without Violence\u201d project in the cities of Jihlava, \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice and Plzen. More than 850 teens from different institutions have participated in various types of laboratories \u2013 theater, music, dance, and voice \u2013 and then performed in shows before thousands of people. The teens experience for themselves the gift that they are, not only for their own personal fulfillment, but also for the prevention of marginalization, violence, and feelings of awkwardness that sometimes accompany the teenage years. And so they are able to contribute in proactive ways toward the building of a more united world. Both the local and national press has focused on the dynamic of working \u201ctogether with\u201d and the great answer that these young people have been able to offer their own peers. Honza Musil, a popular television presenter in the Czech Republic, was always on hand to open the events in the various cities beginning with the first project in Brno (May 2011): \u201cWhere you are, is where I also want to be.\u201d <\/em> The last stop is Belgium where there will be the launching of \u201cTogether4Peace,\u201d an initiative focused on developing creativity in youth by offering them an experience of unity in diversity. The project will conclude with a performance of Gen Rosso\u2019s musical \u201cStreetlight,\u201d involving some 120 youths within the framework of \u201cTogether for Europe\u201d on the 12th and 13th of May 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
