The El Sistema movement is spreading like rapid fire around the world! Recognizing the power of El Sistema to create social change, music programs have been modeled on the Venezuelan music miracle in more than 25 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, England, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Scotland, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay.
As El Sistema USA continues to develop, one of its primary goals will be to serve as a networking organization for programs modeled on El Sistema. Although El Sistema USA will focus itself on the movement as it emerges in the U.S, it greatly values the collaboration of like-minded programs around the world. In that spirit, El Sistema USA welcomes international programs inspired by Venezuela’s El Sistema to participate in the 2010 Directory Project.
El Sistema USA invites submissions of a short organizational profile towards the compilation of a directory of organizations. Additionally, organizations interested in three-week collaborative placements or internships with the Abreu Fellows are encouraged to submit the Project Directory Form. Thank you for your collaboration.
