International project "CAMINO" flashmob "Ode to Joy"
Flashmob "Ode to joy" is a moment of unity, during which the youth of the seven countries that joined the European Union in 2004 will come together with the help of the Internet for a spectacle that breaks down borders and unites cultures. Using the universal language of music and dance, participants from each nation will demonstrate their unique interpretations of the European anthem "Ode to Joy", thus commemorating two decades of membership in the European Union. This telebridge event will not only highlight each country's different tastes and creativity, but will also serve as an important reminder of our shared values and ties. As part of the international project CAMINO: Twenty Years of Cultural Enrichment in Reunified Europe, this event demonstrates the power of cooperation and harmony in fostering a sense of collective belonging on the world stage.
