British singer Ellie Goulding recently made a poignant visit to Jordan for the inauguration of the Zaatari Music & Arts Center at Zaatari Refugee Camp. This significant event took place in the largest refugee camp in the Middle East, where 60% of its approximately 85,000 residents are under the age of 25.

Goulding shared heartfelt moments from the center’s opening on her Instagram account, including images of her cutting the ceremonial ribbon and engaging in meaningful conversations with refugees. In a thoughtful Instagram post, the singer reflected on the profound impact of arts and music, especially for individuals who have experienced trauma, a description that frequently applies to refugees.

The pop star described her privilege in meeting young Syrian artists and musicians during her visit. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to see them not solely as refugees but as talented and creative individuals. Goulding treasured their performances and emphasized the importance of the Zaatari Music & Arts Center in rekindling hope and dreams among its residents.

Goulding acknowledged that the refugee experience often involves trauma, loss of identity, and the erosion of cultural ties, leaving little room for personal aspirations. However, she underscored the transformative power of arts and culture in helping individuals reconnect with their identity and heal from trauma. The Zaatari Music & Arts Center offers a range of classes, including guitar, drums, oud, voice, and dance, as well as providing a dedicated performance space and recording studio.

In her message, Goulding called upon the global community to take action in support of Syrian refugees. She highlighted the alarming trend of reduced budgets for Syrian refugees, despite the best efforts of Jordanian services and international agencies. The singer passionately urged the world to address the plight of the 110 million forcibly displaced individuals worldwide, emphasizing that coming together as a global community is crucial to providing young refugees with the promising future they deserve.

Ellie Goulding’s visit to the Zaatari Refugee Camp reinforced her conviction in the power of global solidarity and support for refugees, ensuring that they have the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves.
