About the project

Tomorrowland Foundation X Join for Joy

The Tomorrowland Foundation and Join for Joy are teaming up to bring the magic of music, dance and arts to children in rural East Africa! Expressive arts are more than just fun, they're helping kids to express themselves, spark creativity, and build self-confidence. Through traditional dance, music, and art, children connect with their roots, transforming classrooms into vibrant, dynamic spaces. Games have been developed that focus on discussing social themes through expressive arts and building essential life skills. By empowering 120 East African primary school teachers and supplying 30 schools across Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, and Uganda with music and art toolkits, over 34,500 children are being reached, turning a shared vision into an inspiring reality!

Music not only brings joy to my classroom but also serves as a tool for practising regular school subjects. For example, we use the drums to enhance our mathematics lessons, by calculating to the beat of the drums.
