BEAT - Bringing Equality, Accessibility, and Togetherness

BEAT is a new EU-funded project that uses choral music as a tool to promote inclusion and accessibility. It seeks to remove the barriers that prevent (young) people with disabilities from participating in choirs.

Through hands-on workshops, an educational toolkit and a multisensory choral performance, the project empowers young people to create open and accessible choral spaces.

Are you involved in an inclusive youth choir or do you know about such a choir? 

Please add this choir to our SWAN database which will also serve as a basis for building the network of inclusive youth choirs in BEAT. 

If you want to know more about the project or have any questions, please write to SecretaryGeneral@EuropeanChoralAssociation.org
