Descripción de la organización:

Ballade is a non-profit organisation ment to brings populations & generations together thanks to artistic practices & especially musical ones; thereby working towards social diversity, multiculturalism & an inclusive society
We organise sociocultural actions for publics with less access to culture other than community culture, for economic/sociocultural reasons; With the aim to make musical practice & emotions available to all; our activities are free, without selection.
Our pedagogy is based on non-formal & interactive teaching-learning of music, with a “by ear” instrumental practice. This enables a more natural approach to music & suits fragile publics
The musical repertoire includes traditional music adapting to the specificities & needs of the target audiences. It highlights their native languages/cultures & creates a common musical/cultural/linguistic repertoire
To build an inclusive society, we gather professional & amateur musicians on stage, during concerts to encourage the will to play together, live together & highlight/share music from our various roots
Ballade’s actions also contribute to socio-professional integration, as our music teachers are former participants of our workshops, helped by young people in ESC & civic service, taught about pedagogy & social role of artists by Ballade.
Artistic practice is a great way to get to know others, fraternise & build tomorrow’s society beyond any discrimination, in order to set the example of an inclusive/tolerant Europe
