17 young artists from France, Germany and Egypt met one week in September 2011 in Marseille. During this first week, participants created an action plan that they will develop during the second phase in Leipzig (Germany) and that they will present during the third phase in Alexandria (Egypt) for the brand new festival Start with Yourself (AGORA - arts and culture).

Here is the testimony of Jimi (Egyptian participant and singer of Salalem) http://www.facebook.com/salalem
I used to hate France and the French
I don’t know why, there was no reason
I never knew how much 8 days could change in a person
Until I took part in this workshop
Maybe I’m overwhelmed because I haven’t been out of Egypt for a long time
And this was my first as soon as I got my military exemption
Maybe because I have discovered myself and still am discovering it in another dimension
Maybe because of the properly picked mixture of artists and art managers and producers
Maybe because Marseille to me was like love at first sight
And maybe because I know the outcome of this could be very large, unexpectedly large.
Maybe that’s why I’m overwhelmed.
