Music & Resilience develops music resources within psycho-social, health and cultural frameworks, as a protection factor for the young generations of the Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon and other marginalised communities

Palestinians
in Lebanon

The daily living conditions of the Palestinian community in Lebanon are probably the hardest in all the Palestinian diaspora

Community music

Music & Resilience is an international cooperation project in which the Associazione di Promozione Sociale Prima Materia (PM, Italy) works in collaboration with the Palestinian-Lebanese partner National Institution of Social Care and Vocational Training (NISCVT, Lebanon, Arabic name Beit Atfal Assumoud).

The project was created in 2011 to support and develop psycho-educational resources to protect the well-being of children and adolescents who are born, live and grow up in traumatic conditions in the intolerably restrictive environments of Lebanon’s refugee camps. • read more
