On May 11th, 2007 a Community Group of 200 children and young adults, trained by Royston Maldoom, danced to The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst at the opening of the Vienna Festwochen (cultural festival) .

Through this project the Vienna Caritas organisation created a new programme to socially integrate young people from different backgrounds. Dancing together, undergoing the artistic process of creation and presenting the results in public challenged and developed personality and self-esteem, helping to abolish prejudices and enhance social skills.
