Both Finns and immigrants youth (16 – 29 years old) are the target group of the project’s activity, the goal is to reach to 225 participants. Dance workshops are held in Kuopio, Mikkeli, and Vantaa during 2019–2022.
Participation in the project gives youth the possibility to develop their mental, physical and social abilities.
