Stanica Východ — a music project between Roma and non-Roma children in Slovakia

Stanica Vychod is a music project designed to bring together Roma (gypsy) and non-Roma communities in the Prešov region, Eastern Slovakia.

Following complaints about inhabitants of a Roma housing project from a nearby non-Roma community, the local government examined the possibility of constructing a wall to isolate the Roma in a ghetto named Stará Tehelňa.

After an outcry the plan was never enacted, but an Dutch-Slovak music project was born to try to bring the non-Roma into Stará Tehelňa, particularly Prešov's youth, and to cultivate interaction through music.
