Short Description
Our common future may depend on our awareness of tradition. Our spiritual memory is never global, it originates from every individual, his/her family, tribe, ethnic community, language, and his/her land or environment. TV Slovenia intends to produce a series of documentary portraits featuring talented Slovene children who, by their creativity, form a bridge between the past and the future.

The TEEN BAND FROM BELTINCI is a pilot programme featuring a talented group of youngsters who are keen on playing traditional tunes that have been played in the region of Prekmurje for centuries.

The TEEN BAND FROM BELTINCI consists of eight musicians, all of them in their early teens (still attending elementary schools). They play typical tunes and folk songs from Prekmurje.

Format
A weekly TV series, 25 min

Age group – 10-18

Latest development
This first proposal is linked to the region of Prekmurje in the far East of Slovenia. If the series gets more interest, other regions may also be presented, including young Slovenes who live in Italy, Austria and Hungary.
