The Music Bus project was carried out in cooperation between Iveco Czech Republic and the

Doctor Victor rock band, providing a 12-metre-long CROSSWAY Low Entry. The vehicle was specially equipped with a recording studio, a classroom, and a stage for this musical awakening program.

The Music Bus served as an educational hub hosting various activities, such as workshops led by the Doctor Victor Academy and performances and providing support for young local musicians.

 

During the month of May, the CROSSWAY Music Bus made 14 stops across the country, offering children a unique opportunity to discover music and try out different instruments.

 

This initiative, with an educational purpose, aimed to inspire children and foster their interest in music. The programme also included a national talent competition.

 

"We are extremely proud to have supported this Music Bus pilot project, which is a perfect fit with

IVECO BUS’s inclusion values and objectives. This CROSSWAY has been specially converted to give as many children as possible the opportunity to discover the world of music and be inspired,” said David Kriz, CEO of Iveco Czech Republic.
