MUSIC & ARTS FOR THE NEW GENERATION
The positive energy and love generated by the people attending the festival inspired Tomorrowland to found the Tomorrowland Foundation. The Foundation focuses on supporting non-profit organisations. They give young people living in poor communities the chance to express them-selves creatively through music, dance, and art, building up their self-esteem and independence in the process.
Last December, the Foundation teamed up with Kolkata (India)-based NGO Ek Tara. Together they opened a Tomorrowland Foundation Music & Arts School there, the second of its kind in the world, with the other one being in Nepal. This school offers classes in music, dance, arts, theatre and other visual and performing arts to girls and women living in the largest slum communities of the city. It gives vulnerable children a chance to express themselves creatively, work on their self-esteem, and create avenues to explore their talents and interests. All of these things, coupled with proper education, will hopefully enable these children to break out of the cycle of poverty and lead dignified lives as contributing members of society.
Thanks to your support, the Tomorrowland Foundation can give long-term support to organisations and is already planning the opening of new Music & Arts Schools all over the world, including new, yet-to-bedisclosed locations in Brazil and Africa. But the support that the Tomorrowland Foundation gives to its partners is not limited to financial means. They also help them spread the message of ‘Transforming the life of the poorest children and youngsters through education and empowerment’. With Tomorrowland championing this cause, hopefully, more and more people will work towards lifting children out of poverty.
