This project was initiated by the Fédération des Maisons de Jeunes in French-speaking Belgium as part of its METIS - Un Jeune = Un Jeune scheme, in partnership with the Belgian Red Cross's MENA Coordination, with the participation of the Maisons de Jeunes in Burenville, Chiny-Florenvile and Regard, as well as the young MENA from the Montegnée, Jette and Ste-Ode Red Cross centers.

During beatboxing and writing workshops with Gaspard Herblot and Maky, some twenty young people participated collectively in the production of songs mixing slam, rap and beatbox, created and recorded as part of the "Rêves et Aspirations" project organized by the FMJ's METIS coordination.
