==What is the Garbage Music?==
The Garbage Music is a project that targets marginalized children, boys and girls, between the age of 12 and 16 years old in Luxor city in Upper Egypt. The project bridges art and environmental awareness to promote environmental sustainability and social inclusion through enabling children’s creative and artistic expression. Over the course of 4 months, 15 children will learn, through a designed curriculum, and through fun, playing, and experimentation about environmental sustainability; how to recycle garbage; how to create musical instruments through recycling; how to play music; and to share their creation with the world through public music performances.
==What problems is this project trying to address?==
The Garbage Music project aims to address different problems on the social and ecological levels. On the social level, Upper Egypt is known to be one of the most marginalized and alienated parts of Egypt. Egypt’s centralized model of development, have made the Saiid (Upper Egypt) people amongst the country’s poor with the least developed public services (health, education, culture etc.). Society at large in Upper Egypt, and especially women and youth, suffer from marginalization and exclusion. This feeling is further exacerbated by the dominant conservative social norms and culture which is drawn around hard gender lines, and little tolerance and acceptability of difference. Girls and boys face restrictions on their abilities to self-expression and self-exploration. Youth and women, specifically those working in art business face social pressure and stigmatization. Art and culture policies, like their sister economic policies, also suffer the same centralization, which makes Upper Egypt marginalized on the cultural level. This translates in little to no public support to local art initiatives and projects. On the ecological level, Egypt in general and Upper Egypt in specific have increasingly moved towards a service and rentier based economy. Over the last decades’ increased reliance on tourism, coupled with the absence of a comprehensive and sustainable environmental policies have damaged the environment. This is very clear in the case of Luxor, for example, which has historically relied heavily on agriculture for its livelihood. The dramatic shift from a society of producers to a society of consumers, i.e from agriculture to tourism, joined with the quasi absence of local environmental contingency plan based on sustainability, proved very expensive on an environmental and human levels. This has been translated into a surge in the Nile river pollution levels, a crisis in solid waste management, and the transformation of agriculture lands into lands at the service of rent developers. One of the major stumbling blocks to environmental sustainability in Egypt, alongside the absence of environmentally just policies, is the country’s educational system, which fosters only rote learning. This translates into low public environmental awareness and engagement.
==What is the impact/change you would like to see through the project?==
The project has two folded objectives and aims: to use music as a tool to advance important causes such as environmental sustainability, and to use creative waste management as a mean to empower marginalized children, especially girls. The project provides a model for bringing arts closely to the local community, especially to marginalized children, boys and girls, by enabling their artistic and creative expression. By making music available to one of the most vulnerable groups in society, children will be provided with an opportunity that enables their creative self-expression and that allows them to claim and enjoy their cultural rights and to promote a culture of freedom, diversity and steadfastness. Children, who will be playing and producing music with these instruments will also be delivering a strong environmental message to the community and stakeholders. By turning trash into art, children will be able to inspire alternative waste policies, habits and practices.
==Reflect on how your work helps children to thrive. How are you cultivating children’s sense of self, belonging, and purpose through your model?==
In the low-income community in Luxor, children face marginalization as a result to their mere belonging to Upper Egypt; a part of the country that has been among the most alienated from most of development efforts in Egypt. To this, the children in Luxor, and in Upper Egypt face a subpar education, where art is marginalized and treated as secondary at best. Moreover, the uproar of children, especially girls, in a conservative environment that draws hard gender lines around social expectations and gender expressions (such as the one dominant in Upper Egypt) restricts children’s abilities for self-expression and self-exploration. Hence, the project aims to help children, and girls in specific, to discover their voices. It also aims to create a long-term impact by helping children to foster perseverance, discover courage to initiate personal and collective change, to increase their levels of confidence, articulation abilities, creative capabilities and to foster curiosity to learning.
==Unique Value Proposition: How else is this problem being addressed? Are there other organizations working in the same field, and how does your project differ from these other approaches?==
There are plenty of initiatives that are active in the field of art education and other environmental projects that target youth and children. However, the uniqueness of the Garbage Music project resides in its adoption of an intersectional approach to development that bridges art education and environmental awareness
==Financial Sustainability Plan: What is your solution’s plan to ensure financial sustainability?==
There are multiple financial avenues:
*Social innovation investments: funders who are specifically interested in supporting innovative efforts to advance social change, and environmental sustainability, particularly among younger populations.
*Corporate partnerships: corporations who are interested in co-branded campaigns to promote civic engagement, environmental sustainability and youth wellbeing.
*Developmental organizations: donor international organizations that support projects that advances environmental goals, and social change.
