/0 Comments/in Latest News, Music Connects, Program, Video /by Wendy Hassler-ForestWe had a good thing going. Not to toot our own horn, but only two months ago an embassy representative approached us saying she had heard we were “the best project in Kosovo.”
Mitrovica Rock School worked: the project had shown that music can create new paths to mutual understanding, even in a highly complex post-conflict environment like Mitrovica.
