Jeg er nu officielt helt og holdent kommet med i et musikprojekt, 'Music in Common', som er en del af organisationen Middle East Expedition. Denne weekend har budt på workshop med de andre 30 MeXp-deltagere i KHH Project bygningen – et møde, arbejdssted for kreative sjæle og andre, der brænder for noget større. Foruden vores projekt er der følgende:
Street Soccer
Workshoppen har kort sagt været så fantastisk og gjort det endnu mere håndgribeligt og konkret. Vi skal sgu til Mellemøsten, særligt grundet vores knap så lille sponsorat fra Mellemfolkelig Samvirke. Vi har endnu ikke opnået vores drømmebudget, som er på ca. 1. mio., men vi mangler blot de 40 %.
På dansk:
Projektet går i sin enkelthed ud på at interagere og skabe et fællesskab mellem unge på otte stop rundt i Libanon, Syrien og Jordan. Vi skal skabe et rum, hvor alle kan være med, ligegyldigt sprog, kultur eller talent. Musik i det offentlige rum i Mellemøsten er faktisk ikke-eksisterende, og det kan vi være med til at ændre på.
Det vil vi gøre ved hjælp af musik. Vi vil skabe et kor, der med enkel rytmik, lyde og sang samler alle til noget større, der ender ud i en sammenhængende sang/melodi og en fantastisk oplevelse af skabe noget ud af ingenting.

Music in Common
In English:
During the three days spend in each city comprising Jordan, Lebanon and Syria we will take the first step towards establishing a different and creative thinking community that integrates elements of music and dance. A new community that is yet not to be found in these countries, based around a communication form that everyone may have in common and understand:
Music and dance!
This project is meant to be for everybody, rhythm or no rhythm, singers or non singers. We wish to open up a door that has been closed too long.
Our aims are likewise very ambitious:
1. We will provide the framework, so that people who do not have specific prerequisites and have very little in common, can nevertheless succeeded in getting a result that is created at the will and desire for a community. They must learn that it is possible, even if you do not necessarily have the talent or experience
The community should transcend all cultural and linguistic borders, so that the Middle East can communicate with the West. Therefore we communicate by music, and not the language.
2. We will help the local youth express themselves through music so that
they may be taken seriously. (Experience from group member, that have lived in the countries and cooperator, Hanna, being a Saudi Arabian shows that creative experiments like this is not taken seriously, because people do not believe it is possible to be good without talent)
3. We will bring music and dance into the public space and demonstrate that
this is where they belong (Experience shows, that music and dance is not happening in the open).
4. We will show that everyone can play music - and play it well.
