Music as a Natural Resource

Music as a Natural Resource “Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents." ~ Ludwig van Beethoven ~ In cooperation with UN HABITAT.

Music As A Natural Resource is a project of the International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC)(www.international-iccc.org), the Soundtrack Group (www.soundtrackgroup.com) and the Manhattan Producers Alliance (www.manhatpro.com). History:

In 2009 ICCC, a UN partner organization launched "Music As A Natural Resource", an initiative to explore and develop the potential of music as a social too

l. The project was developed in close cooperation with UN-HABITAT to support of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. The initial phase of the project produced the "Music As A Natural Resource: Solutions for Social and Economic Issues", aka "the Compendium”. Now in its second edition, the Compendium is a global survey, currently highlighting sixty existing music initiatives geared toward health, education and socio-economic change. Projects like:

* Playing For Change (fosters social change in the poorest sections of Africa, South America and the Indian sub-continent)
* Guitars In The Classroom (uses music to enrich elementary school curriculum in virtually every subject)
* Svaram (brings together Indian traditional music with contemporary world cultures, building a bridge between ancient local tradition and contemporary global culture)

In addition to creating a resource of successful projects and initiatives, Music As A Natural Resource helps to promote and grow projects both by providing access to the UN's global community and by linking the organizations via an International ICT network. In print, the Music As A Natural Resource Compendium is distributed to ambassadors, secretaries and cultural administrators from over one hundred UN nations and "Compendium: Live" multimedia/concert events take place in various UN regions, showcasing both international and regional "Natural Resource" projects.
