This Compendium, the first is a series as recommended by the United Nations High-Level Working Sessions, seeks to promote sustainable initiatives on national, regional and local levels that utilize the vast potential of music to help attain the UN MDGs. The 16 projects presented, coming from 12 countries and 1 multi-national organization, clearly show that music is being used throughout the world to successfully address critical development issues. These projects also demonstrate that music can effectively adapt to local cultures and conditions.
The projects are presented in three sections:
(1) Community Development,
(2) Trauma Survivors and
(3) Treatment of Mental and Physical Health Issues. For the most part, the six projects categorized as sustainable community development are working with children who are at risk. The projects are from Africa, Asia, South America and North America. The second section presents eight projects addressing trauma in young people and adults stemming from war, violence, natural disasters as well as social and environmental issues that deeply affect the quality of life. The third section presents three projects, all from the United States, on how music is being used as a resource to work with children and adults with special cognitive, physical and psychosocial needs. This volume also contains a guide to international organizations involved with Music as a Natural Resource. Future volumes will include additional projects in these three categories as well as other areas where music is successfully being used.
