Sounds of Change trains (local) professionals to use the power of music in their work with different (traumatized) focus groups. Today Sounds of Change operates in Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia, Ukraine, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and in the Netherlands.

We pass on music as a tool to aid workers, psychologists and teachers who work in places in the world where people have become alienated from themselves and from each other. We see our trainees as changemakers. They use music as a connecting and transforming means to support (traumatized) people in places like refugee camps, asylum seeker centers, deprived areas and (former) war zones.

Within the safe space of music, people listen better to each other, express themselves in a (non)verbal way, become more open to different opinions and look for solutions.
We work from the belief that the power of music can bring about social change, heal and connect people.
