Capoeira al-Shababi is a Jordanian non-profit that provides psychosocial support and wellbeing to vulnerable people across Jordan. Capoeira al-Shababi uses the unique aspects of the Brazilian artform of capoeira to create spaces where individuals heal on an individual and community level. Working on movement, strength, music, expression and community building, our programmes provide a therapy for trauma, depression, anxiety and much more. Capoeira al-Shababi's programmes promote self-confidence, healthy bodies, and emotional well-being. As an inherently social art form, capoeira builds strong bonds among participants as it teaches trust, playful interaction, and expression, crucial for childhood development. Based on recent research on trauma healing techniques, capoeira instructors design programmes that incorporate advanced techniques of physical, social and musical therapies.
