Roots & Rhythms is an 18-month partnership between youth organisations in Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal using music as a tool for social inclusion with young migrants, refugees and minority youth. Around 60 young people take part in local music-based workshops across the three countries, and the partnership produces an open-access Manual of Good Practices for youth workers. Solidara leads the Learning Mobility of Youth Workers, a 5-day training held in Charleroi.
