Music is a borderless force, as is World Citizenship. This musical event aimed to establish a culture of World Citizenship and a future of mutual good by conveying the virtue every World Citizen should possess: Kindness. It also aimed to encourage the recognition of World Citizenship among Taiwan’s K-12 students and underprivileged groups, enhancing cross-cultural and cross-border collaboration and understanding. We aim to make every concert a model to showcase the power of World Citizenship, using music to bridge World Citizenship and ESG Sustainability.
With our mission of promoting World Citizenship education to the public through music, ESGWD hosted the “2024 Million Students: Love Towards Sustainability – World Citizens Family Concert” on September 15th, 2024, at the Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Building’s Guoguang Hall.
