Sounds of Change trains changemakers who work in conflict areas, refugee camps and marginalised communities
This is where we work in 2024
Ukraine
Trauma Support Ukraine facilitates online webinars for Ukrainian teachers and psychologists, who work with adults and children in Ukraine every day. This will continue as long as participants benefit from it and feel supported by it.
Turkey
In collaboration with ECHO (European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations), we train aid workers and mental health professionals in Gaziantep and Mardin.
Westbank
We renewed our collaboration with the Hope Flowers School in Bethlehem. The new training program supports the school's teachers to use music and art in a trauma-sensitive way in their work with children.
Lebanon
One of our SOC trainers Ahmad Wafik gives weekly theater and music sessions to a group of young people in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. We support Ahmad's work financially.
North East Syria
In collaboration with Norwegian People's Aid, we facilitate training in Syria, close to the Turkish and Iraqi borders. We provide multiple online and on-site training courses to healthcare providers and mental health professionals.
The Netherlands
In the Netherlands we run the SOC Academy annually, for which individuals can register. We also provide workshops and training in the Netherlands.
In 2023 and before, we worked in Northeast Syria, Northern Iraq, Romania, Cyprus, Tunisia, and Ukraine (online), Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Greece and Turkey.
