Please highlight how the initiative can be exemplary in this context.
THE ENVIRONMENT IS A MARGINAL CONTEXT WHERE MANY CULTURES OF GYPSY AND ARABIC ETHNICITY AS WELL AS FROM OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES COEXIST. IT IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING TOGETHER ALL THE GROUPS TO SHARE THEIR CULTURES IN A MUSICAL ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT.

THE APPROACH IS TO CONSTRUCT A BUILDING THAT REACTIVATES THE FUNCTIONALITY OF A PARTICULAR AREA IN AN EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT CONTEXT.
