Description of initiative
European cooperation project whose main goal was audience development, bringing people and culture closer together. The project particularly focused on European musical heritage of the 15th-16th centuries. One of the objectives was to recover the potential of European organological (14 instruments) rich heritage in order to reach with them vulnerable collectives (especially people with mental health problems) as participants of implementation of project and dissemination of early music. In addition, a network of key partners in both the cultural / creative sector (museums, music academies, musicians, musicologists and schools luthiers) and the social sector (entities non-profit involved in social integration of people with disabilities through cultural activities will be created / artistic / creative) was created, following the route that the instruments under the project took: Zaragoza (Spain) - Italy - Rest of Europe.

Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt
The result of these actions was the design and construction of a new musical instrument called Ratatranta, whose objective is that it can be used by any person and it makes possible to feel the music through different senses and that integrates a set of subsequent actions in which the instrument it comes alive and becomes the axis of a series of participatory activities and sensory workshops run by the participants themselves. This experience has had a great impact on both national and international media. Following the success of this project, the project lead organisation generated a new project, "Delyramus et Laboramus", co-funded by Erasmus+ Programme of the UE in the next 2 years. The Erasmus+ supported project reinforces the objectives of the previous project, building on the results obtained and the accumulated experience, increasing its impact and taking another step to ensure the sustainability of the initiative.
