The Municipality of Saint-Adelphe is proud to collaborate to the coming of the MAMU ENSEMBLE TOGETHER project and promote intercultural exchanges with the population. It’s an honour and a privilege for us to have this opportunity to learn and open ourselves to new cultural horizons.
– Paul Labranche, Mayor
The project aims to engage communities and draw bridges between them to promote multiculturalism and the fight against racism. Mamu Ensemble Together was developed to start a dialogue with communities, following themes such as
- Do you believe music has an important role to play in relations with other people? Why?
- What effect and impact can a music project like Mamu Ensemble Together have within communities?
Mamu Ensemble Together is a great community adventure filled with hope and in which everyone’s voice is heard.
