Music charity, Sing Up Foundation, has appointed a research team from University of Limerick’s Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. The research will focus on the impact that singing has on the wellbeing and mental health of refugee children.
The team will conduct a literature review and evaluation of the benefits of singing on young refugees, with intent to support those working with unaccompanied minors to use effective evidence-based singing strategies. Resources and recommendations for future projects will be developed.
The research time is supported by a British Council grant designed to continue the legacy of the World Voice Programme, which was inherited by Sing Up Foundation. This latest step is inspired by previous World Voice projects with refugees in Palestine and Greece.
