Music for Change artists Alex and H, together with Ed and Paul - a DJ and MC artist have been working in east Folkestone with different groups of older and younger people. The project was aimed at improving social cohesion and intergenerational relations, exploring what the participants think of Folkestone and their community and the people in it as well as singing and lyric writing.
The project culminated in the production of a sound collage, featuring the participants' voices through spoken and sung words. The sound collage was launched at a Christmas party event in Dover for all the participants, which involved singing, talking, Christmas food and a lot of fun!
