PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Resonate is a music-based community engagement initiative designed to amplify the voices and talents of marginalised groups in Newport, particularly Gypsy, Roma asylum-seeking communities. Through inclusive workshops, cultural exchanges, and collaborative performances, Resonate seeks to promote integration, expression, and empowerment using music as a common language. A key feature of the project is a culture-sharing event, bringing together communities to celebrate and share our Citys heritage.
