CONCERTS "IN THE GREEN"
To offer a different kind of musical experience as well as cultural events to rural regions who have only a limited access to these kinds of activities all three
partners implemented concerts and participatory dances in green public spaces, such as parks and gardens as well as in smaller villages or interesting landscapes in the countryside.
All three partners had one event per year simultaneously – always on the last Saturday of July 2022 - 2024.
30.7.2022 – 29.7.2023 – 27.7.2024
