I gained more strength, I started to believe in myself and to trust other people.
The time with ROOTS & ROUTES has been a phenomenal journey.
As a young hiphop & music interested kid I got in first contact through workshop weeks in cooperation with a local youth center in 2014.
When I think about ROOTS & ROUTES, it’s like I think of a different
kind of family.
ROOTS & ROUTES has been one of the greatest connectors that allowed me to enjoy amazing experiences around Europe, getting in contact and knowing personally a lot of young people and increasing my awarness about art and social issues.
The connections I have made are very important to me, ROOTS & ROUTES is a network of great people and great artists. The connections I’ve made are very important to me, it’s a network of great people and great artists.
Since I took part in my first ROOTS & ROUTES project, I have been more consciously engaged with dance and theatre than before. I have stayed in touch with some of the participants and met them in different parts of the world and feel part of an international community.
