Re-birth: 18 Years of Music, Meaning, and Maturing

Elizabeth Njoroge, Founder and Executive Director, Art of Music Foundation

03-04-2026

Many of the students we began with, back in 2006, are the first in their families to finish school, to attend university, and to build careers. The truly amazing part is that now, as young adults, their dream is not to escape. Their dream is to return. They come back to their communities—with purpose, compassion, and determination. More often than not, they come back to Ghetto Classics as teachers. Most of our current 42 teachers once sat where our students now sit. The learners have become leaders.

Which means, of course, that the program no longer “belongs” to me.

Through Songwriting, Colombian Communities Resolve Conflict and Make Their Voices Heard

Ana Uribe Law, musicologist and violinist; 2023 Alumna, Global Leaders Institute

03-04-2026

Ask any Bogotano about their perception of Colombia’s Chocó Region, and you’ll likely hear that it is a dangerous and remote place, visited primarily for whale-watching. These inter-regional biases are not uncommon—decades of armed conflict have disrupted networks of community and social cohesion, fragmenting them and threatening the practices that sustain communal life. And though a shared sense of Colombian identity exists, each of the country’s regions maintains a distinct cultural character that is often rooted in music.

Before traveling to Chocó, my perception of Colombia’s outer territories was similarly close-minded.

A Foot in Both Worlds: Mentorship and Maturation at Sistema Ravinia

Guadalupe Ramirez, Sistema Ravinia Alumna and Intern

02-04-2026

As Sistema Ravinia prepared for in-person learning after the pandemic lockdowns, I attended a Zoom meeting with other incoming high school freshmen, most of whom were good friends. A manager asked us, “This is the first time we’ve had high school students in our program. What would you guys like to see happen?”

Young People Are Speaking To Us. Are We Close Enough to Hear Them?

Dalouge Smith, Founder and Executive Director, The Creating Abundance Collaborative; Co-founder and CEO, The Lewis Prize, 2018–2024

12-03-2025

I’d been missing the presence and perspective of young people in these gatherings dedicated to arts education, young people’s wellbeing, and community health through the arts. When young people were present, it was most often as performers, and occasionally as panelists alongside adults.

Throughout these events, I had been wondering, “How is it that we continue to position young people as objects of conversation, and not the subject?”

“Giftedness Is Just Access in Disguise”: Lessons in Flourishing Together

Jee-Hoon Krska, Founder/Executive Director, Keys 2 Success, Newark, New Jersey, USA

11-05-2025

The summer of 2025 brought a harsh financial reality. Like so many nonprofits in the United States this year, we lost more than 50% in foundation funding—money we’d counted on to hire adult teachers for our summer programming. We couldn’t bring in the experienced instructors who had anchored our summer camps in previous years.

This loss created an unexpected void that my teaching team and I didn’t know how to fill. To our surprise, our Urban Fellows and Junior Fellows—a group of our older and emerging student leaders—stepped up to fill the void.

The Power of Youth Voice

Ayde Diaz, El Sistema USA 2025 Youth Ambassador; YOLA Torres Student

11-05-2025

An instructor once told me, “When we listen to our students, we remember why we’re here. Their perspective makes us better.” That was the moment I realized our learning experiences aren’t a one-way street. In programs that truly value our voices, the impact extends far beyond the classroom. It reaches families, neighborhoods, and entire communities.

Entre la tradición y la innovación: Reimaginar la formación del profesorado en NEOJIBA

José Henrique de Campos, Director Educativo, NEOJIBA

05-07-2025

Al intentar renovar una iniciativa que existe desde hace casi una década, nuestro gran reto es encontrar ese equilibrio preciso entre valorar la tradición y proponer algo nuevo. En NEOJIBA Núcleos Estatales de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Bahía, este equilibrio es fundamental para nuestra búsqueda continua de mejora: alabar lo que ya funciona, reconocer lo que se puede mejorar y tener la tranquilidad de sugerir algo innovador sin perder la esencia de una idea.

Fue con este espíritu que en 2023, en una tarde soleada durante el "eterno verano" de Bahía, comenzamos a rediseñar el PROCEC, nuestro programa colectivo de formación de profesores.

Incorporación de los principios maoríes a un programa inspirado en El Sistema en Aotearoa (Nueva Zelanda)

Sam Winterton, cofundador y coordinador de divulgación del Sistema Whangarei-Toi Akorangi, Nueva Zelanda

04-02-2025

El mundo disfruta de la cultura maorí a través de su vívido kapa haka (actuaciones de canto, danza y canto) y el famoso haka en los partidos de rugby de los All Blacks. No hay piupiu, poi ni taiaha (ropa, comida o armas tradicionales) en el Sistema Whangarei-Toi AkorangiEn el Sistema Whangarei-Toi Akorangi, en el extremo norte de Nueva Zelanda, los principios maoríes se entretejen silenciosa y perfectamente en el tejido de nuestro programa. Crean los cimientos de un sinfín de posibilidades.

Utilizar los círculos para crear comunidad y vínculos en los espacios CYD

John Weiss, Director de Iniciativas Estratégicas, y Lori Roddy, Directora Ejecutiva, Zona Neutral

03-05-2025

Son las 3:30 de la tarde de un miércoles en el Zona Neutralun centro de artes creativas y liderazgo para adolescentes en el centro de Ann Arbor, Michigan. Veinticuatro jóvenes y seis empleados se reúnen en un círculo de sillas en el B-Side Venue (un espacio polivalente que también sirve como sala de conciertos para 400 personas). Mientras una bola de discoteca brilla en lo alto, Ash, participante adolescente y estudiante de segundo de bachillerato, se ofrece voluntario con una pregunta inicial: "¿Qué te gustaba hacer en el recreo cuando eras niño en el colegio?".
