This Holiday Season 2025, we invite you to give the Gift of Music and support young musicians across Cyprus. Sistema Cyprus offers free music education to children, including migrants, refugees, and those with fewer opportunities. Your donation helps provide lessons, instruments, rehearsals, and performances that build joy, confidence, belonging, and hope for over 200 children. Every note you help create becomes a step toward a brighter future. Join us in making this holiday season magical.
According to Eurostat (2019), Cyprus is the top refugee receiving country in the EU per capita. The children of this large number of immigrants and refugees are facing increased racism and xenophobia in their daily lives, contributing to their marginalization and social isolation. This obstacle exacerbated by the pandemic is making our work with these groups even more vital in engaging these children and allowing them to shine and thrive.
Children participating in our program are provided with the support and encouragement they need to develop within the safety of the orchestra, seen as a social unit working together in support of one another. Offering the children opportunities to engage with the wider Cypriot and European community through our actions (such as concerts and events) allows them to set goals and dreams. It also exposes society to these marginalized groups and encourages them to acknowledge them and respect them.
With your support, we can reach and engage more children in need, as we strongly believe in the power of music in transforming lives. The project invites the social responsibility we all have for ensuring equal access to opportunities for all children. Only when we identify and speak loud about the diversity in our society, we will be able to create a community that promotes connectedness and makes sure that basic needs for the good life-quality of all members are met.
