Mission Statement
WE BRING LIVE MUSIC, LAUGHTER AND PLAY TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IN WAR AND CONFLICT ZONES Because play and laughter is the best medicine for traumatic experiences…
About This Cause
Since 2007 we've trained over 60.000 children and youth in war and conflict zones, planting numerous local initiatives across the middle east and beyond. The world is changing. And fast. Technology is linking donors, causes, recipients in real time in ways that we could never have imagined even a decade ago. Disruptive tech is allowing citizens, the victims of crises and war, to shape their own aid story. Capoeira4refugees is at the forefront of using tech to localize aid. The Changemakers Programme A grassroots Ashoka type Award for individuals who are working with refugees, or for other social good purposes in local communities. Each Changemaker is assessed at an individual level, and support given is decided upon by the Changemaker in partnership with C4R. This means that each Changemaker has her own unique partnership with C4R. This model is a conscious effort on C4R’s part to step away from a traditional model where parameters and guidelines are set externally, and locally, people are expected to fulfil an external agenda in order to receive support. How the Hub works The online space functions as a portal to individual Changemaker Projects. This connects supporters directly to Changemakers, allowing the general public to support directly, for example, through donations, volunteering or offering other forms of in-kind support. Changemakers signed up to the Hub have access to practical resources including our bespoke designed app allowing their data to be streamed onto our website in real time. C4R in this sense functions as a gateway, curator and trusted brand Partner for Changemakers to leverage to gain support for their own work. Replicating our tools to other talented individuals Our vision is to use our model for all sport and artforms. We are currently exploring partnerships to make our methodology available for non-capoeira art and sport forms. We have a recruitment, mentoring, and training package in place. That package is tweaked so it meets the unique needs of any changemaker who comes on board.
