NEUROSCIENCE-BACKED ARABIC LULLABY LAUNCHES IN COLLABORATION WITH UNHCR FOR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY CONFLICT

#LullabyofHope

‘Frequencies of Peace’ initiative from Babyshop and leading researchers replaces sounds of war with the sounds of a lullaby to bring comfort and hope across the Middle East

Syrian refugee children from Koura Informal Settlement, Northern Lebanon, watching a UNHCR-supported puppet show called ‘Train of Happiness’. The ‘Train of Happiness’ puppet show educates children who have lived in Lebanon most of their lives about their homeland Syria. There was a realization that children knew very little about their own country – and the project aims to raise awareness about Syria through an interactive puppet show focusing on the country’s history, tradition and culture. It builds the children’s sense of belonging to their home country. ; UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Ben Stiller visited Lebanon in March 2019, spending time with Syrian refugees and host communities across the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, and Tripoli in the north of the country. In anticipation of the forthcoming eighth anniversary since the conflict in Syria began, Stiller has called for urgent and ongoing attention and funds from the international community to support Syrian refugees and their host communities in countries like Lebanon.
  • Lullaby airing at bedtime, 8pm local time in Syria on “Melody FM” and “Arabesque FM” and can be downloaded on Anghami and listed to on Spiritune.
  • Sung in Arabic, by artist and songwriter Ghaliaa Chaker and produced with globally renowned neuroscientists, the public is encouraged to listen, share, and donate.
