Meet Mohammed Yahya
In the run-up to Refugee Week, we caught up with Mohammed Yahya, one of our inspiring music facilitators, to talk about our school programme Harmonise. We work with musicians from Syria, Congo, Ethiopia, Romania, Iran, Bosnia-Hercegovina and more, who choose their favourite songs to teach the kids, as well as creating original music together.
“The Justice Party” or “Equal Hopes”
Our schools programme Harmonise inspires collaboration between refugees, asylum-seekers, Roma and children of all backgrounds. The programme increases well-being among all participants, and engages kids who would not normally interact with refugees and asylum-seekers.
Meet Sanja
After escaping conflict or persecution, many refugee and asylum seeker children still feel isolated and misunderstood.  We created Harmonise to inspire empathy between refugees and children of all backgrounds.
Syria Summer Camp
‘The project was born out of a passion to make a difference to the wellbeing of refugee children and their families, helping them to be in a better position to learn.‘
