Wings of Peace Mosul

Past program (2021-23)

Wings of Peace Mosul–a replication of the Jordan-based program–brought expressive arts to over 600 children and is now being offered as part of the curriculum in 10 public schools in Mosul, a city that was devastated by violence. While this program grant ended earlier this year, it now operates autonomously, and Polus has plans to bring Wings of Peace to more regions in the Middle East.
