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.

Songs, songs, songs (for young learners)

Nos hemos detenido en ocasiones en diversos recursos relacionados con las canciones y la enseñanza del inglés, normalmente dirigidos al alumnado de primaria o secundaria. 

En este caso os presentamos una recopilación de canciones en Flash desde la página de Angles365. Hacía ya bastante tiempo que no presentábamos un recurso más bien orientado a la etapa de infantil y a primer ciclo de primaria. Os recordamos al respecto Super Simple Songs, bastante similar a lo que podéis encontrar en los siguientes enlaces:

International Women’s Day

In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating 8 March as International Women's Day. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. 

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is: “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women” 

From China to Costa Rica, from Mali to Malaysia acclaimed singers and musicians, women and men, have come together to spread a message of unity and solidarity: We are "One Woman". (Source UN Women)
