“Trad” for Development - Traditional Irish music by Shantalla Organised by CIDSE
What’s a Trad ? In Europe, the Irish are well known for their convivial culture. In Ireland, anyone who plays an instrument can gather with other musicians to improvise traditional music in bars, public places, or just as well at home.
With Trad for Development, the Irish Catholic development agency Trocaire encourages citizens to organize a Trad, enjoying music close to their hearts for a worthy cause. The initiative has generated enormous enthusiasm in Ireland, with hundreds of events taking place in local communities across the country.
CIDSE’s Trad illustrates how civil society, a key actor for development, can reach out to citizens and local communities, living a deeply-held traditional musical culture while broadening public support for global solidarity.
