Environmental Action
Students Across Continents Sing Their Way to Climate Action
Natalie Osby, Student, Loyola Marymount University; Volunteer and Be Cool! Connections Coordinator, The ClimateMusic Project
Climate change is a complex, often overwhelming issue, causing many to turn away or disengage from conversations about it. That’s where music comes in. Just as we share this planet, we share the language of music. And when we speak it, we have the power to restore our planet’s health and build a thriving network of changemakers.
Fostering Environmental Stewardship in Sistema Programs
Keane Southard, Composer and Pianist
One of our core tenets in the El Sistema movement is that great music education can be more than training on an instrument—it can create better citizens who contribute positively in all aspects of our world. We teach our students to take care of their instruments, the facilities they use, and their classmates and communities.
