Housing
Bank volunteers, as part of the Imkan by Iskan team, participated in a touring
museum project in Mafraq as part of the “Art as a Tool for Inclusion:
Empowering Persons with Disabilities in Jordan” initiative, implemented in
partnership with the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.
The
Imkan by Iskan team’s participation comes as part of the bank’s broader support
for six mobile museum tours taking place across the governorates of Karak,
Tafila, and Mafraq.
The tours are expected to benefit approximately 200
children and young people with disabilities, offering inclusive art experiences
designed to accommodate different disabilities while providing participants
with opportunities to express themselves and explore their talents.
During
the tour, volunteers interacted directly with participants in the art
workshops, supporting them as they explored different forms of artistic
expression.
The experience provided children with disabilities with an
opportunity to engage with art in an environment tailored to their needs and
abilities, helping build their confidence and encouraging communication and
self-expression.
The
initiative reflects Housing Bank’s commitment to creating a positive and
lasting impact in the communities it serves by supporting initiatives that
address the needs of diverse segments of society, in partnership with civil
society organizations across the Kingdom.
Launched
by the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts in 2009, the Touring Museum project
brings art and cultural experiences to remote areas and governorates across
Jordan.
The project serves a range of communities, including school students,
children in orphanages, and individuals at centers supporting people with
disabilities and autism.
