Tolerance starts at school
The "Tolerance goes to school" programme was launched in 2006 as an accompanying measure to "Musica Sacra International". The core aim of the project is to teach children and young people about the five world religions, as well as a sense of and respect for other cultures.
In today's world, it is becoming increasingly important to break down prejudices and openly confront the supposedly foreign. In times of globalisation, children and young people in particular need a good foundation of knowledge in order to understand and classify their own culture and religion.
The programme is primarily aimed at children and young people of all age groups.

Indian drumming workshop
As part of the "Tolerance goes to school" programme, Musica Sacra International is organising the workshop "Discover the rhythm of India" in cooperation with the Mittelschule Marktoberdorf and the Sophie-La-Roche-Realschule Kaufbeuren. Magnus Dauner, who himself studied at the Karnataka College of Percussion in India, will be accompanying the percussion classes of percussion teacher Stefan Beranek. Together with the children, they are working on a rhythm composition in the Indian rhythm language Konnakol. The piece, which was rehearsed over several weeks, will be performed by the pupils as part of Musica Sara International.
Exhibition "World Religions - World Peace - Global Ethic"
In the foyer of the Richard Wengenmeier Hall of the Bavarian Music Academy Marktoberdorf, a mobile and free exhibition will be made available to visitors for the duration of the festival. This exhibition, organised by the Stiftung Weltethos, consists of ten panels that provide basic information about the world religions and their ethical messages.
If interested, MODfestivals will make the exhibition available to educational institutions for a small fee.
