| residentjudge Oct 10 | Like the rest of the world, I am horrified by the violence in the Gaza Strip and Israel at the moment. There will be children going to bed terrified tonight. The children of Syria have been going to sleep to the sounds of war for the past ten years. A recent initiative funded by UNHCR, Babyshop,Spiritune, and Anghami has taken neuroscience and music psychology to create a lullaby. It has a tempo which can be speeded up or slowed down, depending on the child's level of alertness; it has a limited number of notes, and it picks up on Arabic tonal structures. It is played on Syrian radio stations at 8.00 p.m. and cars with speakers mounted on the roof drive slowly through the streets, playing the lullaby. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
