Mission Statement
'We document and promote music initiatives connecting communities and addressing critical sustainable development needs on international, national and local levels.
Activities
Music as a Global Resource strives to use music as a natural resource to develop a cross disciplinary, results-driven, and action-oriented mindset to address the MDG’s in the areas of health, education, habitat, and peace. The impetus for this far-ranging exploration is the awareness that to be economically sound and productive, the global community must also be healthy in order to reach its full potential. The initiative focuses on dialogues that emphasize the potential of music as a tool for improving the quality of life to the attention of global decision makers in government, international organizations, local authorities, and the private sector. The Music as a Global Resource initiative has since participated in an ongoing series of seven high-level UN dialogues and conferences (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015). Since then this creative holistic approach to solutions has continued and deepened through an ongoing series of six high-level UN dialogues and conferences.
