After nearly 2 months of planning and preparation, the first event took place on 24 May 2024 in Beltinci, Slovenia. During the programme, which started in the early afternoon, representatives of the cooperating folk groups, choirs and folk music schools adopted and signed an open cooperation agreement, pledging their commitment to the preservation of folk music traditions. The agreement is open to any folk culture institution or association in the region. The afternoon programme at the Beltinci Primary School was opened to the public with a folk dance and folk music session and performance by students from the KUD Beltinci and the Beltinci Primary School. From 7 p.m. onwards, the gala evening in the Culture House featured performances by the “Prekmurska Banda” ensemble of the Beltinci Music School, the singing group “Irmice”, performing folk songs typical of the Promurje women’s folk singing, the \u201cFalaj\u010dek\u201d folk ensemble presenting a small slice of the Promurje and Mura region, and the \u201cMarko Banda\u201d, a group preserving the Promurje folk music tradition. The Hungarian partner was the \u201cCsat\u00e1ri P\u00e1vak\u00f6r\u201d and ifj. K\u00e1roly Horv\u00e1th and his folk band. After the gala evening, the partners evaluated the programme at a late-night meeting.<\/p>\n

The results of the project’s drawing competition were announced and the exhibition opened with a folk song sung in Slovenian and Hungarian by the school’s “small choir”, and the best entries received certificates and gifts.
