Supported Project: It's a Little Joy

This solidarity project was conceived with a group of amateur singers, healthcare workers, and artists, centered around song. This theme was highly praised by the various partners. Song speaks to everyone about their life and culture; it is accessible and practiced by all. The singers come from local ensembles and choirs and are eager to participate in a solidarity project that gives meaning to their vocal practice. What makes them unique is that most are also retired, and therefore seniors, and they wish to support their isolated elders.

A new group, "It's a Little Joy," has been formed with 25 local amateur singers, accompanied and mentored by about ten professional musicians and singers who ensure the quality and diversity of the repertoire and provide training for the singers. The goal is to offer regular singing visits to the homes of the most isolated individuals, those with various disabilities, and those nearing the end of life. These visits are invigorating for the recipients, encouraging them to connect with friends, neighbors, and caregivers. They also restore their dignity and courage, and provide them with a time for artistic expression and enjoyment! For some, they even give them the desire to leave their homes again.
