       I try to listen to my inner voice and find the sense of life, the joy in my life. I’m led by means of my knowledge, pedagogical - creative experience... That's how the workshop “Sing a Folk Song” was created. I tried to prepare an interesting and unique experience. It is intended for all who want to get to know the value of a folk song.

Goal   

 

°  An activating popular-educational form and method of promoting education, creating a relationship with the traditions. It is a step towards knowledge, understanding our own cultural identity through a folk song.  

 

°  An attempt to create a cultural matter through an artistic experience, which I believe will get to you, directly into your blood. I am convinced that music is made by people for people, so the human dimension must be in the forefront.
