MFG Impact Report Highlights

Short-term Impact

Week-long music and play therapy sessions with Tüvana Education Foundation for Children (TOÇEV), helping children connect. These sessions aimed at facilitating self-discovery and mutual understanding, while promoting healing and social integration between Turkish and Syrian children.

Long-term Vision

Establishing a library and related programming with a music axis, in collaboration with the Maya Foundation. The project, ideated by the MFG team, aimed to integrate local musicians into recovery efforts, inspired by models like El Sistema and Art Division which use music education as a tool for social change and community empowerment – for we firmly believe that the most profound healing occurs when it is driven by the community itself.
