Summary:	MusicGenerations connects young people between 14 and 25 years, and people over 50 through music, including rap, hip hop, poetry, and spoken word. The program carefully combines talent development, reciprocity between ages and cultures, and urgent social issues. Part I illustrates how art progams, including MusicGenerations, positiviely contribute to social and political issues around age and intergenerationality, diversity, and freedom. Examine effective elements that can be widely adapted to cultural and other interventions aimed at bringing people from a wide range of backgrounds together. The power of music and art for individuals, groups, and society is assessed by borrowing from neurobiology, psychology, and sociology. Part II answers the question of how the reality, presented by MusicGenerations, functions as an example for a future, inclusive society. The progressively inclusive experice of 15 years of MusicGenerations are juxtaposed with the increasingly exclusionary discourses on "cultural diversity" in cultural and integration polices and pbulic debates.
