Culture: art, music and dance

VEF considers art and music as powerful media to develop consciousness of common history and future. Art is a way to further peace, friendship and cooperation. As such VEF is active in organising concerts and exhibitions.

Children's painting: during the Caravantour a big Via Egnatia-painting was made by children from all nationalities along Via Egnatia. This painting will be continued next year in Greece and exhibited in Istanbul, during the festivities of 2010.

Concerts: a series of big concerts is planned along Via Egnatia in 2010/2011. Musicians from the different VE-countries will participate. The concerts will be coupled with music-camps and masterclasses for young and old international participants.
The Via Egnatia Cross Border Band will play on different festive occasions and combined with lectures on Via Egnatia, mainly in western Europe.

One of the participating organisations is the IRAM-Institute of Balkan Music. It has a large (online) database of Musical Balkan Heritage. http://mmc.edu.mk . They will plan an international conference on music along the Via Egnatia.

AS YOU UNDERSTAND: ALL THIS MULTIFACETED WORK COST A LOT OF MONEY. WE CANNOT DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
