Please provide a description of the pledge“Music moves us” has involved the participation of forty young people from different backgrounds living in Andalusian municipalities. The aim is to improve the integration and social perception of the migrant minors, adolescents and young people groups in Andalusia. The workshops have culminated in several concerts in Andalusian cities involved in this action to raise awareness in the local community about the situation of children, adolescents and youth who have experienced a migratory process, promoting education and the construction of inclusive values and attitudes, the recognition and perception of diversity, using music as an instrument.
The recording of a video clip and the holding of a concert in each of the cities, with the collaboration of local musicians, will serve to show the public the work carried out by the young boys and girls during the workshops. In May, the documentary “La músicia nos mueve (Music moves us)” will be released and will be shown in different spaces, including streaming platforms such as Filmin.

According to data from the Andalusian Strategy for Immigration 2021 - 2025, in 2021 the community welcomed a total of 2,873 unaccompanied minors who arrived to the Andalusian coast. About 72% come from Maghreb countries, especially Morocco and Algeria, while the rest come from Sub-Saharan Africa. Once they reach the age of 18, this group of young people is deprived of protection and is often the victim of prejudice and discrimination.
These workshops are part of the project #TÚTAMBIÉN/ أيضا أنت#, implemented by FAMSI, with the support and funding of the Andalusian Agency for International Development Cooperation (AACID in Spanish), in close collaboration with the Directorate General for Children of the Ministry of Equality, Social Policies and Conciliation.

FAMSI regards music as a medium that fosters relations of coexistence, while at the same time promoting the transformation of social reality. Music is in itself a communicative and inclusive activity, in which each and every member of the group has a place in it and is indispensable for the final result. In a cultural project, based on space and musical genre, all members have a common goal, which fosters group cohesion and a sense of belonging, facilitating the emergence of a relationship of equality between all members.

Similarly, musical activity is inclusive in the sense that it is a participatory activity performed in a public space. Music concerts, regardless of the musical style or culture in question, generate a space of relationship and "communion" between the people attending the event. Moreover, it is a universal medium, in the sense that all cultures produce and reproduce musical forms that are also appreciated by people from other cultures.
