Return to Tenderness is a creative project initiated by the socially engaged artist Juan delGado, with a group of young people from the city of Raqqa in NorthEastern Syria. Through collaboration they trace the musical and intangible heritage of this city by the Euphrates. Using digital technology and inclusive methodology they establish an ongoing trustful relationships\u00a0 with local musicians and singers from the old generation.\u00a0 The local team interviewed and recorded their music and stories, what inspired them, how they connect their music with the oral heritage of their community.<\/p>\n

The project aims to create long term intergenerational relationships, with young people becoming actively engaged in the recording of the stories from the elders. Digital technology will provide an opportunity for this community to change the perception of how others see them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
