Maltese Symphony, Hungary, Embassy of the Order of Malta to Roma People & the Hungarian Relief Service

The Maltese Symphony Programme is a social project supporting the educational integration of disadvantaged children from the Roma community through participation in an orchestra. The project aims to strenghten the children’s sense of community and offer access to quality time outside school. This programme’s specific focus is on professional social assistance: social workers and teachers work together in close collaboration, aiming to help children get out of a cycle of having difficulties at school and providing them with an opportunity of self-development. It has been successfully implemented by the Hungarian Relief Service since 2013 in 6 locations across Hungary and aims to expand its reach.
