Organized by the Moselle Prefecture of Metz and NGO’s “Tabullarasa” and Abe Pierre’s “Emmaus”, Festival “Nomade in Metz ” will take place in the city of Metz , in France,  from 10^th until 19^th of September. In order for this festival to be better organized, organizers decided to hire young professionals from abroad who will facilitate the preparation of the festival and at the same time fill the gap and enrich the festival with new experiences.

A representative of MuSPP was one of the facilitators hired by the organizer to work on the preparation of the festiva,l especially on the way of involving communities in the preparation of the festival and at the same time to do a media campaign and to look for possible donors.

After a month of preparation of the festival “Nomade in Metz ” it was visible that the experience brought from MuSPP  Kosovo was very helpful and now it is a time for the results to be seen in September.

The festival mobilizes professionals, associations, schools, universities, nongovernmental organizations, businesses, artists, citizens and it intend to become a traditional event.
