Recruiting Organization: Faulu Productions Community Based Organization

This program seeks to address the lack of music and drama training

facilities within the camp, offering youth the opportunity to develop

their musical talents into viable careers rather than simply leisure

pursuits.

The key objectives of this project include:

• Developing an analytical, creative, and intuitive understanding of music as a cultural language.
• Fostering the aspirations and artistic integrity of refugee youth through music performance.
• Providing an avenue for youth interested in music to explore sound, rhythm, beat, tone, and body movements.
• Encouraging social interactions among youth, fostering identity development, and revealing individual personality traits.
• Offering a means for youth to express and explore their emotions.
• Recognising the importance of music therapy as a healing tool,
• shifting focus from problems to solutions through music and drama.
• Providing a rhythmic structure for relaxation and breathing.
• Aiding music enthusiasts in visualising positive images that evoke pleasure, happiness, mood changes, and deep relaxation.

Participating in this project at Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya will allow you to make a positive impact on others, contribute to a better world, enhance your CV, gain valuable work experience in an African setting, and utilise your creative skills. Upon completion, you will receive a recommendation and certificate.
