World Peace Song Project

World Peace Song, composed by Women of the World, is a song for connecting people from around the world with their wishes for peace. It was premiered in a concert in Nagoya in 2015 in which children with many backgrounds in World Museum contributed lyrics in their own languages and created a global chorus. Since then, the song has been sung in several concerts and workshops.

In 2018, many new partners have joined the project and have contributed their works creating lyrics in their native languages, singing, recording and videotaping.
