The ENTAIL project (dEepen the aNalysis of souTh AdrIatic popular music) is committed to promoting social inclusion, with a specific focus on supporting young people with disabilities through music education and the preservation of the South Adriatic’s popular traditions.
Support for Youth with Disabilities:
Inclusion in Educational Activities: The academies and training courses are designed to be accessible and inclusive, providing opportunities for young people with disabilities to participate in courses on popular music and dance. The goal is to foster integration and skill development through cultural activities.
Active Participation in Performances: Youth with disabilities will have the opportunity to be involved in final performances, offering them a platform for artistic expression and enhancing their sense of community involvement.
Professional and Personal Growth: ENTAIL aims to create training opportunities that not only develop musical abilities but also professional skills, giving young people with disabilities greater chances for active participation in the cultural and creative sectors.
These initiatives emphasize the importance of inclusive education and the promotion of equal access to quality learning experiences, contributing to the self-esteem and social integration of young people with disabilities.
Agreement with Catholic NGO for Training and Education in Manufacturing
This initiative aims to establish a partnership with a Catholic religious NGO to offer professional training in traditional manufacturing skills, such as sewing and knotting, specifically targeting disadvantaged groups, including women and the poor. The project will highlight the important role of women in Albanian communities and culture, empowering them with skills that can provide economic independence and foster community leadership.
Formation of a Database of Women-Led Businesses
In parallel with the training program, a Database of Women-Led Businesses will be created, focusing on enterprises founded and managed by women in Albania. This database will serve as a resource to foster collaboration among female entrepreneurs and enhance commercial and work-related interactions.
Collaboration for Commercial and Work Integration:
The project will encourage collaboration between women-led businesses, connecting them with larger markets and supply chains, creating opportunities for networking and mutual support.
Establish partnerships with local and international stakeholders to promote the sale and distribution of the products made by the women involved in the training programs, further supporting their economic integration and empowerment.
By emphasizing both the training in manufacturing and the development of a network of women entrepreneurs, this initiative will not only promote the social and economic upliftment of women but also strengthen their role as key contributors to Albanian culture and society.
Objectives:
Training Programs: Launch practical training programs in sewing, knotting, and other manufacturing skills. These programs will provide participants with valuable skills that can lead to sustainable employment or entrepreneurial opportunities.
Empowerment of Women: By focusing on women, this project aims to reinforce their crucial role within Albanian society, promoting their active participation in the economy and community leadership.
Supporting Disadvantaged Groups: The initiative will focus on individuals from underprivileged backgrounds, providing them with tools to overcome economic challenges through skill development and access to job opportunities.

EArPiCe (Encoding and Analysing Popular Music)
The EArPiCe project is centered on studying, cataloging, and analyzing popular music repertoires in Italy, Albania, and Montenegro. This project aims to bridge cross-border cultural gaps by understanding how popular music from different ethnic and social groups, dating from the Baroque period to the present, can create new cultural exchanges. The key goal is to explore possible cultural similarities that may inspire future music production across these regions.
Key Objectives:
- Cultural Heritage Exploitation: By focusing on music as a cultural heritage, the project aims to improve cooperation between key cultural actors in the region.
- Popular Music Analysis: Analyze the popular music traditions, exploring similarities and cultural crossovers between regions to produce new compositions.
- Neuroscientific Studies: A neuroscience component is added to understand the cognitive and emotional effects of music on individuals from these regions. This will include measuring neurobiological responses when individuals listen to music.
Expected Outcomes:
- Music Network Creation: Create a shared network of musical works connecting the regions, bringing together popular and classical music traditions.
- Cross-border Ensembles: Formation of interregional ensembles that will create and perform both old and new musical works.
- New Music Productions: Organizing concerts, performances, and festivals to showcase these new musical compositions.
- Neuroscientific Findings: Investigate how different cultures respond to popular music and how these findings can influence music production and education.
