MUSIC
Our vision is that the cultures and music of different communities contribute to the future of a society that respects the right of everybody to live in a peaceful world in a sustainable and equitable manner. As an organisation our mission is to generate happy, safe and trusting environments for people of all ages and origins to share, learn and engage with music, culture, and creativity as continuous life-long processes.
​
​
We do this by working with children, young people and families, and the schools, children’s centres, nurseries, communities in which they live, with arts and community venues large and small, festivals, music education hubs and universities to create unique and outstanding music and cultural projects that celebrate what we have in common as human beings, give a voice to individuals and improve our everyday lives.
​
We have developed and launched 3 apps with our digital partner Piota. We have two Sing Songo apps for our early years activities – Sing Songo for families to use at home with their children and Sing Songo Practitioners for teachers and early years practitioners to use in their schools and early years settings. The World Music Academy App provides a digital space for learning, playing and singing music from around the world.
For more information on our apps please check out our Digital Resources section above.

Learning and Impact Evaluation Report
Thanks to the creativity and excellent management skills of our friend and collaborator Diana Massis, we have been invited to be part of the "Marca Chile" alliance - an official Chilean government institution that promotes the image of the country around the world. This is a brilliant way for Musiko Musika and Quimantu to start 2025, further propelling our growth socially and culturally and the contribution we can make to sustainability, democracy, diversity and Anglo-Chilean friendship in the United Kingdom.
