There is no miraculous way to conquer poverty and social exclusion. However, there is one undeniable fact: without you this battle won’t be victorious. It is time to refresh our obligation to seek solidarity, social justice, and to get more actively involved in social acts. It is the time to announce a year 2010 the European Year against Poverty and Social Exclusion. Solidarity is an essential value of European Union and is especially important in the period of crisis. The word Union means that we are together so we could stand against crisis, thus unity is to us all like a shield. Music-making youth willingly approves the initiative to reduce spiritual poverty and feels solidarity with musicians pursuing true values.
