Move To Connect.

MOVE TO CONNECT is a youth-led international dance project organized by KAMM Artistic Europe with the aim of using dance as a method to create continental connections and reduce inequalities between young people in Europe and Africa. This project offers young participants the opportunity to plan, create, and disseminate dance-related content while receiving supervision from Kelvin Akpaloo, KAMM Artistic Europe's Vice Chairperson and Creative Director. Communication for the project will take place through Zoom and WhatsApp, and participants' profiles will be showcased on K.A.E's website and social media platforms.
