Mission
World Music Factory strives to musically educate and inspire children and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. We emphasize the right of every child for quality music education and self-expression. Through the main theme of World Music we provide intensive workshops in a safe and playful environment where children and youth can express themselves, take initiative and learn about important life skills. Our goal is to raise their consciousness about different cultures, including their own, through mutual understanding and tolerance between themselves and other people.
Vision
We believe that every young person, anywhere in the world, has the right to education, development and self-expression. We believe music, creativity and inspiration as powerful tools to achieve this goal.
