RAD Music International is a Cultural Club that aims to support refugees on the island of Lesvos and all around Greece. In various ways we are fighting for human rights and common ground values that should apply to every asylum seeker in Europe. We stand in unity with refugees to defend and demand respect for their rights as human beings.
As Rad Music International we believe that music and dance are especially powerful weapons in this fight to reach people all over the world and raise awareness on refugees’ problems.
Rad Music International was created in June 2018 with the goal of bringing refugees, locals and volunteers together. The integration of refugees in our cultural and musical activities had a huge personal impact on them but in the meantime also strengthened us in our mission.
Today Rad Music International is an example of how refugees can contribute in meaningful ways to society.
Rad Music International started with dance activities. People were living in the Refugee Camp of Moria searched for a way to forget their many problems, just for a little while. Dance is perfect for that, as it helps not only with physical but also with mental health issues and connects people in a creative way.
After a few months, musicians joined the group and our music journey started.
In 2020, the conditions in the New Refugee Camp of Kara Tepe/Moria 2 lead us to create the Community School of Rad Music International. Since then we offer weekly educational programs in our office.
