Everyone likes music .. that is a well known fact, it is used now as an essential tool to promote dialogue between civilization .. that is the news .. spirtus mundi has the story.
In Malmo, Sweden's third biggest city and just miles away from Copenhagen, Henrik Milius established his NGO to promote mutual understanding between Sweden and Arab and African countries.
Spirtus Mundi organized a group of programs for Swedish and foreign children like Saudi girls and sons and daughters of Malmo residents who belongs to Islamic and Middle Eastern origins.
Members of our group and all YLVP participants spent a very nice couple of days in Spirtus Mundi, we recorded a song that we composed and wrote its lyrics then we designed the album cover, most of us did these activities for the first time in our life but may be not for the last time :)
One of the most interesting meetings we had was with Behrang Miri, a Swedish young leader from Iranian origins.
Miri is a hip hop artist who uses his music to teach children to express themselves and to integrate with their home societies in a city like Malmo that have a large population of Swedes with foreign origins.
The best thing about Miri is that he is only 24 years old and he has a great impact, something that led him to be hired by some schools in Malmo to teach kids how to learn by dancing and composing.
Just 2 hours before we left Malmo we celebrated 2 of our group members birthdays, Mira and Emad , alongside them was Wael and Maged who all had their birthdays in November.
