Playing For Change es un movimiento multimedia creado para inspirar, conectar y promover la paz en el mundo a través de la música. La idea surge de la convicción de que la música desarma las fronteras y ayuda a superar las diferencias, pues tiene el poder universal de unirnos como habitantes de un mismo planeta.

Usando un estudio de grabación móvil, con la calidad de los mejores estudios, viajan por todo el mundo y graban a muchas personas para luego ensamblar los diferentes audios y videos, creando espectaculares canciones multicolores.

Arte 2.0 te invita a ser partícipe de este movimiento, colaborando con nosotros en el Playing For Change Day, el 17 de septiembre de 2011. Todos los informes en este episodio. Asiste!

The Playing for Change Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and global multi-media movement of people who believe that peace is possible through music.  This year’s event carries the theme Power To The People, drawing its inspiration from John Lennon’s activism, thanks to the gracious support of Theatre Within and Yoko Ono who believe in our mission and recognize it as one manifestation of John’s vision for the role of music in creating a better world.

Proceeds raised will go to support the work of the Playing For Change Foundation and Theatre Within to help build music schools, strengthen music and arts education, support teachers and performances, purchase instruments, and connect young people to promote cross cultural learning and conflict resolution.

You understand the power of music and the ways it can change the human heart and the human experience.  Will you bring your passion and presence to a global day of music? Please visit www.PlayingForChangeDay.org to learn more and to participate.

Play a Song. Build a School. Change the World.

Join the Global Event to Bring Music into the Lives of Young People.
