Help us empower over 200 children across Cyprus through the transformative power of music. Sistema Cyprus provides free music education to young people, including migrants, refugees, and those with fewer opportunities. Your support funds instruments, lessons, rehearsals, and performances-creating not just musicians, but confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging. Every note played is a step toward a more hopeful future. Be part of their journey.
Cyprus continues to rank among the EU countries with the highest number of asylum applications per capita, placing significant pressure on communities and services. Many children from migrant and refugee backgrounds face racism, xenophobia, and social isolation in their daily lives, limiting their opportunities and sense of belonging. Without access to safe and inclusive spaces, these children are at risk of marginalisation and exclusion.
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.
