Same Drum
Akolkol Dastan Gesa Program Evaluation
Upbeat Digital is also working with Same Drum to evaluate Akolkol Dastan Gasa (which means “stories" in three different languages). This unique intercultural music program brings together diverse communities through rhythm, song and storytelling.
The program is built on the belief that music is a universal language that fosters understanding, respect and belonging. Through collaborative workshops, performances, and cultural exchanges, participants are invited to share their own traditions while learning from others, creating a powerful space for connection.
Our evaluation captures:
The impact of the program on cultural awareness and community connection
How participation builds skills, confidence, and intercultural understanding
The social value created when young people and community members come together through music and story
By embedding community voices at the centre of our evaluation approach, we are helping Same Drum to demonstrate the significance of Akolkol Dastan Gasa as both an artistic and social impact initiative.
