EUYO members and alumni performed in Dubai thanks to the fruitful cooperation with EMMA For Peace (Euro-Mediterranean Music Academy), a global non-profit organization for the promotion of peace and cooperation for development through music diplomacy and education.
The EUYO performances were part of the events of the AQDAR Art, an initiative powered by EMMA for Peace in the AQDAR World Summit, which is a global platform for leaders, decision makers, experts, specialists and leading companies from around the world to gather, discuss and debate on crucial issues of international importance and help empower communities to build a world of security, tolerance, peace and coexistence.
Aqdar Art celebrates art and artists and aims to support and empower them by raising awareness on the importance of art as a language for peace and unity through a series of concerts, solo performances, and more. Through its collaboration with Emma for Peace, Aqdar Art curated a show, filled with inspiration, harmony, and togetherness.
