Music is the best way for young children to discover foreign cultures and languages.
Europe has a rich and creative production of children music, ranging from traditional repertories to contemporary artists. However, its development is limited by linguistic and regional boundaries and the absence of real European media to give access to these fragmented cultural repertories.
The goal of the Recremania project is to give opportunity to European children to discover and share their musical heritage through a European musical multilingual portal for children with innovative edutainment tools.
The project builds on the partners’ complementary know-how : music online and educational multimedia technologies (Tralalere-France), music production and knowledge of European children repertories (PMJ-France), pedagogical expertise (Manchester Metropolitan University-UK, Goethe Institut-Germany), mobile technologies (Cedetel-Spain), children and language learning.

Collecting children's repertoire in 5 countries
Each partner identified and collected repertoire in its country, in order to feed a multilingual songs database.
This European songs database will be displayed on the website, especially designed for children. Children discover foreign languages through songs and interactive activities and also play and discover stories.

The first on-line european music store, 100% dedicated to children music
The website will also enable parents to buy children songs, on the first on-line european music store, 100% dedicated to children music, through two complementary means:
- customised CD (a personalized CD containing the songs they have chosen), which is produced on demand and sent by post,
- songs download.
This European songs database will be displayed on the website, especially designed for children. Children discover foreign languages through songs and interactive activities and also play and discover stories.

The tralala website, especially designed for children
It includes content dedicated to children (songs, games, discovery, edutainment), with an access to specific content for each different target.

3 age groups are defined: 0/3 years, 3/6 years, 7/10 years

For teachers: Songs based foreign language teaching
Songs are one of the favourite means of teachers to introduce young children to a foreign language. That is why the Recremania project also includes songs based teaching packages, containing music files and teaching material. Each package is translated in all the languages of the project.
To be sure that this pedagogical content will be usable with different learning systems, we make it IMS / SCORM conformant.
