The Answer Music, Youth Engagement and
globally connected local action
The Communication Intervention Logic is simple: using Music – the universal language of humanity - as a tool for global community building, innovative science communication and global citizenship education; reducing complexity of global challenges/climate change in a way that ordinary people can relate to.
