The Erasmus+ Youth Group of the Tempus Foundation and its international partners held an international training on September 7-11, 2021 in Budapest. The training is implemented within the framework and with the support of the Erasmus+ program, entitled: Cross Over – Training for Quality in Strategic Cooperation across Sectors for the Youth Field.

At the invitation of Tempus, we held a presentation about the ImMusic project, in the framework of which Edit Pálinkás talked about the implementation of the project, the challenges caused by the epidemic measures, and Csaba Tőri gave an interactive singing session based on the musical exercises developed during our project.

At the workshop organized by the ImPulzus Creative Music Lab, led by Dóra Orosz, participants were introduced to warm-up exercises focusing on our own inner rhythm. Through the exercises, the focus was on getting to know our body, and it highlighted the musicality rooted in its own rhythm. The workshop with Dóra was an extremely good opportunity to try out the warm-up exercises included in the project. At the end of the program, there were exercises that developed a sense of rhythm and playing together, enriched with rhythm instruments.

In the summer of 2021, after many month of shutdown due to the epidemic, we participated in a music and folk music camp, in which, in addition to singing exercises, Hungarian folk music and folk dance played a major role. The leaders of the folk dance class were Csilla Böde-Harkai and István Böde. The young people greatly enjoyed the relaxed social program including our ImMusic exercises in this field.

In June 2021, with continued to record the testing of the music exercises developed during the project. We made a video recording of the playful tasks and the moments of the testing, we hope to be able to make a few recordings public in along with the task descriptions. The session was led by Csaba Tőri, and the participants were university students open to amateur music making, working with young people.

We held an interactive singing program with ImPulzus on the second day of the first Őrség Contemporary Music Days, which was fortunately realized at the last minute after the closures due to the epidemic. The event, held in one of the most beautiful regions of Hungary, in a beautiful landscape, provided an extremely good opportunity to test those exercises in a completely unfamiliar environment, which even make it possible to learn contemporary pieces of music.
