Our conviction

Music is the entry point. Leadership, inclusion and personal growth are what young people leave with.

Music builds leaders.Inclusion starts in schools.Youth who run clubs change communities.

Each Tunisia88 Club is guided by a student leader elected by peers and a mentor from the same school. Running a club trains young people in public speaking, team coordination and community organizing.

Clubs meet every week to rehearse, organize events and compete in national contests. Every alumnus who returns as a trainer, coordinator or choir conductor is proof of what the program builds.
