Harmony Forum

Harmony

A voluntary, developmental and humanitarian project, working under the patronage of the Archbishopric of the Syriac Orthodox in Homs, operating on peace-building through arts and culture, pursuing to empower and support youth by providing them with a safe space, in different artistic and cultural areas, supporting their ideas, hobbies and aspirations in order to work on and enhance it, seeking to lift society as a whole, individuals in particular.

The Beginning..

Harmony project began in 2018 with a group of young people who believed in their abilities and skills. They took it upon themselves to create a place that captures the essence of Homs, and that’s why they chose a 1906-year-old Syrian house. Despite being severely damaged by the conflict, volunteers worked tirelessly to restore it, turning the dust of conflict into the vibrant colors of life..

Our Vision

A cohesive humane society which believes in all its components, and the importance of every single individual in the process of creating one’s self so as the other’s, a community that is based on an active and capable youth.
