We are running a Music event which focuses on advancing various skills, related to music [singing, composing, songwriting]. The idea is that we simulate a music camp environment as it would be in a bigger production company with specific music tasks and a music director who gives feedback. The specific music tasks will be based on the best artist of all time Steinarr!
Steinarr is a character created by participants of Dragon Legion events. He is a death knight, followed by his hoards of Ungrateful Dead, which makes for an incredible showcase of Dragon Legion members initiative, and creativity. Now, we want to make Steinarr a reality, and we wish to record a real album.
This event is for both musicians, composers, music producers, and designers. Please mention in the application form, which one are you, to help us form a team.
The event will take place from: November 2nd – November 9th 2023 (Please remember to reserve a travel day before and after the event, keep those days free!)
Event Location
The music event will take place in a location which offers us enough room for creative sessions and to work in groups. We have not finalized the contact with the location yet but we are looking at the area around Cologne and Aachen. Watch for updates here.
Do I need to have any music experience?
Yes, you should be able to showcase some basic knowledge about music. Appreciation for metal music is welcomed, but not necessary.
Who can apply?
You should be at least 18 years old and not older than 30. We can only accept participants from the countries listed below. Currently slots are still available for:
- Finland
- Germany
- Iceland
- Poland
- Spain
- Sweden
All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the coordination team. The best applications will be chosen and both the accepted and rejected applicants will be notified. We are planning to close the applications at the latest by the end of September 2023 but we might close earlier! The application will be open until all slots have been filled, so applying sooner gives you an advantage.
What about accommodation and food?
The accommodation isn’t chosen yet but expect this to be something like a hostel which offers us the opportunity to cook our own meals. More about the accommodation will be announced here soon…
What about sightseeing and resting?
During the event we will spend some time outside, visiting locations that can give us the best impressions of Germany. We expect you to turn up in time for the workshop sessions but there will be plenty of time to relax and sleep (however, you are responsible for getting enough sleep!). We will also have a free day which you can use to explore Germany on your own or to rest and recover.
Included in the event are:
- Flights from your home country and an airport in your area (might not be the closest one since we need to take cheap flights for everyone to stay within the budget)
- Accommodation in Germany
- Food and drinks
- Entry fees for places we visit together
- Travels within Germany
Event Fee:
- 40 Euros for Dragon Legion Members
- 50 Euros for non-members
Funding
The event is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union that supports intercultural exchange of young people. This allows us to cover most parts of the travel costs and accommodation costs for the participants.
Why does the event have a fee if it gets funding?
We have a very tight budget and we would love to pay for everyone but we simply can’t. With the fees of 40 € / 50 € we can pay for the budget overrun so that we don’t end up paying extra for the event. We think this is a good price for a week of adventure creation activities, including food, accommodation and travel. If you cannot afford the fee but still want to participate please give a statement about it in your application. We know there are bad situations in some countries right now and we want to make sure that everyone has the chance to be part of this event, so we decided to have 1-2 slots for free for those who really need them. Please don’t abuse this. We cover the travel costs for the flight, the travel from the airport to our location, lodging, food and drinks and any group activities. You just need to take care of your travel to the airport in your home country.
Who is organizing the event?
The people behind this event are active members of the Dragon Legion, young people who are interested in cultural exchange, creating innovative events, and role-playing games. We are all volunteers who organize this in our free time.
