This collaboration will provide culturally based music
education and establish a state-of-the-art recording studio within the camp,
the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Questscope, known for its creative arts programs, will
introduce classes in guitar, drums, oud (a traditional Arabic instrument), and
voice. The project primarily targets the camp's youth, who make up 60 percent
of the 85,000 residents.
The aim is to offer opportunities for artistic expression
and personal development.
Global collaboration
Furthermore, the partnership will allow the Zaatari camp
students to collaborate with participants from Playing for Change Foundation's
50 locations across 17 countries. The collaboration can involve recording
sessions, live performances, and music video production, expanding the horizons
of the young musicians.
PFCF CEO Jake Groshong expressed enthusiasm for the
partnership, highlighting Questscope's impactful work in Zaatari and Dream
Day's support. He stated, "These are the exact type of partners we look
for as we strive to serve the youth of Zaatari through music and culture. We
are able to dramatically impact the lives of those who need it most."
Hub of creativity and hope
Questscope, having worked with Zaatari youth for over eight
years, aims to establish its Youth Center as a central hub of creativity and
hope, especially during these uncertain times. CEO Mutthana Khriesat emphasized
the healing power of music and its potential to bridge educational gaps.
The addition of a recording studio, significantly upgraded
by Dream Day, will enable the youth to transcend their challenging
circumstances.
Dream Day Founder Todd Krim expressed anticipation for
showcasing the remarkable talent and spirit of the youth in Zaatari. With World
Refugee Day serving as a backdrop for this announcement, Krim highlighted the
global significance of supporting over 100 million forcibly displaced
individuals worldwide.
The program plans to invite renowned artists from around the
world to witness the youth's achievements, foster collaboration, and provide
further support.
