11. “Grätzlmarie” projects: focus on art & culture

11.3 “Fado – A Warm Welcome Home“

Making music and listening to it together is an expression of vitality and love of life – and the same goes for eating in company. At the “Fado” event, many stakeholders met at the GB* neighbourhood management office for a culinary feast, for exchange and sharing. On two evenings, the intercultural women’s association *mosaic* invited visitors to enjoy a dinner with musical accompaniment.

By meeting others and sharing experiences, culture was perceived as a healing factor. The community experience was kept alive and communicated.

Thanks to “Grätzlmarie” funding, the evening was free of charge for all participants.
