As many as six musicians of KNUA are selected and sent for the project to India. They will select and train the participants for 10 days in their respective paths.

"With Dream Project, we see the power of music melting the differences of boundaries of people and bringing us together. Music's ability to unite people across different background is always an amazing and uplifting experience which brings us together," Kim Kum-Pyoung, director of Korean Cultural Centre, India, said in a statement.
