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.

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.

==Context==
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 Upper Egypt (aṣ-Ṣaʿīd) 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.
==Rationale for the Proposed Project==
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.
Our project provides a model for bringing arts closely to those marginalized children. By making music available to one of the most vulnerable groups in society, children and girls in specific will be provided with an opportunity to discover their voices in a safe space for creative self-expression that will allow them to claim and enjoy their cultural rights and to promote a culture of freedom, diversity and steadfastness.
In the long term this opportunity will help 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.
Children, who will be playing and producing music with these instruments made by recycling garbage, 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. Through the program music will be used as a tool to advance environmental sustainability, and creative waste management as a mean to empower marginalized children.

==Innovation==
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?==
==Organizational Background==
Driven by passion for music, art, love of experimentation and co-learning, Rabab Luxor is an art organization started by a group of artists from Upper Egypt in 2017. Our aim is to spread art all over Egypt. We are an organization that is democratically and independently run. With the little means we have, we still dream big.
We have already conducted an experimental cycle of The Garbage Music Project. Our initial plan was to train 12 participants. But as a result of the high demand on the program, which was manifested by a flood of children, boys and girls, willing to participate; we decided to accept 36 participants, half of them girls and half boys, to not riposte anyone, even if it means tripling the effort of the team, which works almost voluntarily and receives only symbolic remuneration due to our dependence on a seed fund.
We now aspire to sustainability, which means training 12 new children each year and continuing to train at least 24 children who attended the experimental phase. It also means giving satisfactory salaries to the team, preparing our space and providing it with the materials, tools and equipment that allow them to conduct regular training.
