Musicians without Borders

January 8, 2014

Today we discovered an amazing organization called Musicians without Borders. Musicians without Borders is a global network organization using the power of music for healing and reconciliation in areas torn by war and conflict.

“Community music-making is a worldwide phenomenon that has flourished in the last decade. It is a direct and accessible tool for connecting people and engaging and mobilizing communities. From drum circles to choirs to rock bands, all forms of music can be practiced by any person at her/his own level regardless of musical skills, whether in small groups or in a setting of hundreds or even thousands of people. Our professional trainers and music educators are specialized in running community music-making projects in places struggling to deal with trauma, fear and segregation as a result of war and conflict.”
