Arts Integration into Education: Music Serves as a Bridge to Peace
Milford, Connecticut (Billboard Publicity Wire) June 12, 2007 -- The Humanitarian Resource Institute Arts Integration into Education initiative recently announced the release of two songs (MySpace Music: Humanitarian), words and music by Stephen Michael Apatow (Founder, Humanitarian Resource Institute):
"Push for the Summit" encompasses the story behind the development of two national campaigns, the physical challenges associated with conquering the highest mountain passes in the United States, and the accomplishment of the objectives. This song was an integral part of a international campaign to focus attention on (1) the Everest Peace Project, a history-making Everest Climb for Peace in which people from different faiths and cultures - including Palestinian and Israeli men united together on the tallest mountain in the world and (2) The Hawai'i Forgiveness Project, a global initiative to promote the importance of forgiveness in religious, artistic, personal, justice, educational, social and political forms.
"Please Listen Now" embraced the cries of our youth and tragic consequences of neglect that contributed to an explosion of youth violence, Columbine in 1999 and most recently Virginia Tech.
The Arts Integration into Education initiative serves as a bride to connect the international community to resources that include the Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network (KCAAEN), the National Arts Education and Information Network (ARTSEDGE), the Arts Education Partnership (AEP), Arts Education Services at Americans for the Arts, United States Center for the International Association of Theater for Children and Young People, International Drama/Theater and Education Association (IDEA), International Society for Education through Art (INSEA) and the International Society for Music Education (ISME).
"The future of music may not lie entirely with music itself, but rather in the way it encourages and extends, rather than limits, the aspirations and ideas of the people, in the way it makes itself a part with the finer things that humanity does and dreams of." -- Charles Ives, U.S. composer, Quotations: Music Education Advocacy Resource Center.
Humanitarian Resource Institute is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, established with a mission focus to "Bridge Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources" through the development of initiatives associated with economic, social, cultural and humanitarian issues worldwide. The Humanitarian University Consortium serves as (1) an international community of scholars, (2) a bridge between Humanitarian Resource Institute and the international academic community, (3) a think tank in support of the United Nations programs and (4) the promotion of higher learning through both traditional and distance education.
