A guitar brought down from the attic, positive mood and beloved songs, that’s all that’s needed for the Guitar Express company to begin its musical alchemy. In the successful programme’s weekly meetings, time and current obligations are left outside the class. It is time for guitar strumming, adored songs, joy and relaxation. It is time to make music in the present with materials from the past so as to win over the future.

The workshop Connecting body focuses on the development process of kinesthetics and music perception, as participants learn to harmoniously share space and time. A basic instrument for attaining this result is body music, which proposes an experiential way of co-existing and communicating based exclusively on the use of the body for producing music. The workshop is targeted at people of all ages and it can simultaneously include persons with or without sensory disabilities. The result is every time unique and it depends on the group’s special character.

The Co-OPERAtive: An intercultural and collaborative opera hub for young people project, winner of the 2019 Fedora European Prize for Education, is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and unaccompanied minor asylum seekers aged 14-18 from across Attica.
A few words about the project
The Co-OPERAtive project is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 15-17 from across Attica. The project is inspired by opera, which is a common language for creating the first intercultural youth opera hub in Europe. Co-OPERAtive aims to expand opera’s appeal and make it more known to youth audiences, while bringing out cultural diversity and social cohesion. Foregrounding opera’s cooperative nature, the Co-OPERAtive project places collaboration at the heart of its design and implementation, building strong alliances with three partner-organizations, ARSIS, The HOME Project and Melissa Network.
The project will be implemented from January to June 2020 in the Greek National Opera’s venues at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. Detailed information about the project and the participation process will be announced in September 2019 on the GNO webpage (www. nationalopera.gr).
The Co-OPERAtive project brings out three of opera’s basic disciplines: music, theatre and dance. The music section includes instrumental music composition, vocal and improvisation workshops. The theatre section includes creative writing, acting, and directing workshops, and the dance section ballet, contemporary dance, and choreography classes. Alongside the artistic team, the GNO’s professional personnel will contribute in the areas of lighting design, stage management, sound engineering, etc.
