International Conscience Choir
Pedagogy By Music: A concept in line with the manifesto of the Global Justice Movement (GJM); the same GJM's Modern Progression and International Man's Concepts extended to connotations that: conscience is also one universally and that modern music can be a potent weapon to prick and awaken all consciences towards the common good.
Conceptualized towards the heartfelt purpose of reawakening awareness and deep empathy towards the plight of the oppressed, downtrodden and cheated international civil society, through the virtually irresistible weapon of soul touching music. Music rendered by caring civil society for suffering civil society and through otherwise impervious walls of insensitivity, conservatism and outmoded traditions.
We want to touch the world through music, awaken consciences and awareness towards the plight of the oppressed; To touch and criticise governments or other authorities where necessary; sing for justice; fight for justice if necessary; exposing evil ... a free-wheeling caravan of music, visiting countries, touring climes, if we are allowed (for we shall sing and speak only the truth).
The International Conscience Choir, like its parent the GJM, believes in and sings only for good governance through justice and democracy.

ABOUT THE GLOBAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT
The Global Justice Movement is an ideology; an articulated pan civil society movement directed by the conviction of bringing about world peace by bringing about world justice. It is a notion any independent persona or organisation can safely 'steal', subscribe to, as it is in line with bringing about justice.
The manifesto of the movement runs along the theme that most injustice in the world today can be eradicated by ensuring the workings of true democracy worldwide; by in turn eradicating bogus and pseudo-democratic government stricto sensu and pseudo civil society forms which are creating man-made imbalances and injustice in the global social system.
Further contact and enquiries should be made to Tunde Akodu, in care of CANGO Secretariat or via email: tunde8000@yahoo.com
