Other Ways of Learning

Other Ways of Learning is a European research project within the Drums4Peace network using Grundtvig 2 funding from the European Union.
The initial partner countries are Wales, France, Portugal, Lithuania, Estonia and Italy.
The basic goals of this project are to collect and to find out about different participative arts methods used in cultural youth-work (especially within the Drums4Peace network) and to question how participating in these arts activities influences young people, in particular disadvantaged young people. Do participative arts (and, in this way, the youth exchanges that Drums4Peace co-ordinate) make a difference? If yes, what differences and how?

We want to invite participants and artists with experience of youth exchanges to a conversation about these questions – online and in person. We want to reflect on the goals of Drums 4Peace, the work and the final results. Is there something that Drums4Peace has that other networks might benefit from, perhaps even society as a whole? The best people to help answer these questions are the young people who have participated in exchanges over the last 8 years and it is young learners who are leading this research project, supported by some of the artists and co-coordinators who have been with Drums4Peace from the beginning.
