The Children’s Choir

The project uses music and arts therapy to strengthen the well-being and positive development of 100 children in a disadvantaged area of Beirut. Through extracurricular choir training led by experienced arts therapy professionals, the children gain tools to better deal with stress in their daily lives while also learning about their cultural heritage, and how to work together with others.
A public choir performance, accompanied by professional musicians, will take place at the end of the project period. The children’s caregivers – parents, relatives or teachers – also participate in physical art therapy exercises to ensure that tools and techniques are reinforced outside of choir practice, thus promoting a holistic approach to improving the well-being of the children.
