Our story
A unique programme in Serbia, born with the El Sistema movement
“Music of Hope” was created in partnership with the renowned El Sistema movement, named by UNESCO the best socially inclusive programme in the world. There are many ways you can help us:
- bring music to even more children and families
- reduce the number of children dropping out of school
- encourage peer support and reduce peer violence
- bring more music, joy and understanding into classrooms through teacher training
