Ethno New Zealand

Ethno New Zealand is part of the world wide Ethno movement, a programme through Jeunesses Musicales. Ethno is aimed at young adult musicians aged 18-30 with a mission to revive, invigorate and disseminate our global traditional musical heritage. Founded in 1990 in Sweden Ethno is today present in around 20 countries. Ethno engages young people through a series of annual international summer music camps, as well as workshops by working together with schools, communities and other groups of youth. At the core of Ethno lies its democratic peer-to-peer learning approach, where young musicians teach each other the music from their countries and cultures. This non-formal pedagogy provides a unique opportunity for young people from across the globe to come together and engage through music, in a manner characterised by respect, generosity and openness.
