about
The group of young, creative people has been formed on the common idea of playing with the children, and through the play and game introducing to children music and move. Musicians are presenting various instruments (traditional instruments of Serbia and Balkans) and rhythm. Children are taking part in performances, singing and dancing together with the musicians. Grupa „Putujući ćututuk-putujuće korenje”, je grupa putujućih zabavljača čija misao i način rada se zasnivaju na motivaciji i istraživačkom radu na očuvanju prirode, kulture i njenih predačkih vrednosti. Kroz putovanja i stvaralačku umetnost (muzikom, žongliranjem, filmom) otkriva sadržaje i neguje izvornu nit u njima. Putujući ćututuk je u stvarnosti putujući koren koji gde god ode može da nikne, da rodi plod i noseći ga dalje deli sa svima... Svojom izvedbom odvode posmatrača na putovanje kroz prostor i vreme, gde ga upoznaju sa ritmom, igrom i instrumentima raznih kultura. Putujući ćututuk je bilo ko ko odlazi i dolazi sa uvek novim zvucima i stihovima, ritmovima dalekih zemalja i srca prijatelja. Putujući ćututuk je učesnik mnogih festivala uličnih zabavljača, dečijih karnevala i kreativnih radionica.

why this is interesting
# Why This Deserves Your Attention This project merits consideration for its genuine pedagogical approach to cultural transmission. Rather than treating traditional Balkan and Serbian music as historical artifact, the ensemble positions it as living practice—something children actively participate in rather than passively consume. The integration of movement, instrumental discovery, and collective music-making creates a multisensory learning environment that respects both cultural heritage and childhood development. What distinguishes this work is its philosophical foundation: the conviction that play itself becomes a vehicle for preserving cultural values across generations. This method suggests music education need not choose between entertainment and substance, accessibility and authenticity.
