Everyday People is Music Action International´s programme supporting separated young people newly arrived from conflict areas.
Teenage refugees often arrive in the UK without family or friends, having survived armed conflict and endured a horrific and dangerous journey to get here.
Therapeutic, creative music sessions provide relief from daily stresses caused by their traumatic experiences, and encourages friendships with other young people.
´Before I felt alone. I didn’t feel like people were helping me. I felt like I didn’t have friends. After I was so happy, and now I feel like I have a new friend every day. I now feel like things are possible that were not possible before.’ Hassan, Everyday People participant
Everyday People supports young refugees aged 16 – 25 years old, in Manchester, London and soon in Kent to create compelling, original music with an important message
