With musical instruments and a sound system, Burundi’s young artists will have an opportunity to come together, develop their creative talents and have their voice for peace and reconciliation heard by Burundians. In collaboration with Search for Common Ground, these concerts allow for Burundians from different communities to find a safe space to meet and overcome stereotypes, paving the way for reconciliation. ActivitiesSearch for Common Ground will purchase and maintain musical instruments and allow access to artists free of charge. Artists will collaborate on a peace and reconciliation musical tour around Burundi.
