General Information

Upbeat Music House (UBMH Malta) was established to create space for African migrants in Malta and to offer support services that helps them to settle in a new country using music and performance arts. Through the organisation we have been able to assist migrants in enhancing international understanding, integration, and inclusion. We also have been able to create opportunities for migrants to share their culture through music, arts, perfomance and food. We have offered support services to develop our communities and improve the quality of life. Upbeat Music House promotes volunteering by migrants for sustainable development. We work with people coming from diverse backgrounds, and endeavor to meet the needs of our communities through voluntary activities. By promoting inclusion, acceptance, understanding and mutual respect, our programs make a vital contribution to peace and sustainable development. The organization is a source of knowledge and advice on the importance of social cohesion and change management using music. UBMH has 8 active staff and volunteers. Over the past two years we have ran an average budget of 50 000 Euro, mainly from the EU and the Government of Malta funding projects.
