Building your relationship is as easy as turning on the radio.

Δεν έχει φωνές.
Δεν έχει σπρωξιές.
Κανείς δεν βλέπει τι γίνεται.
Ίσως ούτε εσύ.

Γιατί ο αποκλεισμός δεν ακούγεται.
Φαίνεται μόνο σε ένα παιδί που κάθεται μόνο του στο διάλειμμα.
Σε εκείνον που δεν επιλέγεται ποτέ για την ομάδα.
Σε εκείνη που περιμένει μια πρόσκληση που δεν έρχεται.

Κι αν ρωτήσεις, όλοι θα σου πουν:
«Μα δεν του κάναμε τίποτα».
Κι αυτό είναι το πρόβλημα.

Ο αποκλεισμός δεν φαίνεται σαν βία,
αλλά αφήνει τα πιο βαθιά σημάδια.
Σου μαθαίνει να σιωπάς.
Να νιώθεις λίγος.
Να πιστεύεις πως δεν ανήκεις πουθενά.

Μην το προσπερνάς.
Μην συμβιβάζεσαι με το «έτσι είναι τα παιδιά».
Ο αποκλεισμός πληγώνει σιωπηλά.
Και η σιωπή του κόσμου τον δυναμώνει.

Όλοι αξίζουν μια θέση.
Όχι επειδή τους τη χάρισαν,
αλλά επειδή την άξιζαν από την αρχή.

Γιατί ο αποκλεισμός είναι η χειρότερη μορφή εκφοβισμού.

[International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression]

Join us in honouring the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression on June 4, a day to acknowledge the pain suffered by children worldwide who are victims of physical, mental, and emotional abuse. On this day, we also recognise the resilience of children facing violence and adversity.

In music therapy, we see the potential of creative collaboration, where children’s voices are heard through collaborative songwriting. An insightful article from the Nordic Journal of Music Therapy (2018) by Fairchild and McFerran explores songwriting as a participatory, arts-based research method to give voice to children’s understanding of how they use music in the context of homelessness and family violence. Throughout the collaborative songwriting process, the children described how music provided an escape from their challenges and offered hope for a better future.

The authors note, “The songs created represent the capacity and strengths of children despite their experiences of transience and violence and provide an arts-based representation of their experiences.”

Let’s support music therapy and creative outlets that empower these young voices to heal and dream.

WHY MUSIC IS NEEDED FOR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT & LEARNING

"Not only is music a success oriented and engaging means of addressing these skill areas [speech/language, fine motor, gross motor, cognition and social skills], music drives neuroplasticity by pairing non-musical skills with music. This engages multiple systems of the brain in synchrony and fosters communication between both hemispheres."
