This is a great chance to hear directly from the people behind the project, learn what has been happening in the communities, and get a first look at upcoming activities.

From youth creativity and cultural storytelling to skills-building and community participation, the team shares how the REAL Project is opening space for young people to learn, create, and connect with their heritage.

Every child deserves the chance to sit in a classroom, make friends, learn new things, and dream about their future.

This school year, refugee children in Belize are taking their place in several schools across Belize, learning alongside other children and becoming part of our communities. For many of these children, the journey has not been easy. They have left behind homes, friends, and familiar places in search of safety and a better future.

Education gives them hope. It gives them a chance to HEAL, to BELONG, and to build a BRIGHTER tomorrow.

Belize continues to show that kindness, inclusion, and opportunity matter. With the support of UNHCR Belize and HPPBZ, refugee children are given the same chance to learn and succeed as every other child.

No matter where a child comes from, every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

It starts with young people asking questions, listening closely, and learning how to capture the stories that live in their communities.

As new trends become part of daily life, some of the practices passed down by parents, grandparents, and ancestors can slowly be forgotten. Through the 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 (Rising Empowerment through Arts & Livelihoods), youth from Dangriga, Independence, Bella Vista, and San Isidro are learning how to document and share the culture that still lives around them.

In this session, led by the Institute for Social & Cultural Research ISCR NICH, participants focused on:

📖 Intangible cultural preservation
🎙️ Correct culture documentation and interviewing techniques
📷 Hands-on use of photography, video, and interviewing equipment

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼.

By learning these skills, young people are not only documenting culture. They are building pride, belonging, and a stronger connection to where they come from. 💙❤️

Community members and youth from the REAL Project came together for two hands-on sessions that turned simple materials into learning, culture, and new skills.

𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆, 𝟭𝟰 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. They learned different cruceta techniques and practised creating decorative figures and designs. Stitch by stitch, they built patience, precision, creativity, and handcrafting skills, while exploring how embroidery can support cultural expression and income opportunities.

Beyond the final pieces, these sessions created space for teamwork, learning, confidence, and community connection.

Small skills can open big opportunities, and at the Community Hub, creativity continues to bring people together.
