An invitation to join us
in a 24-hour Whole World Singing Assembly
as we
"wRap the World in Song"

Are you related to a child?
Do you teach a child?
Are you a child?
Yes?!?
OK

Then this project belongs to YOU!

What is 22-09-09 and why are you involved?

On the 22nd September of this year all the children in the world will "wrap the world" in 24 hours of song.
So, if you are a child, are related to a child or teach a child, you will be part of this.

How will children "Wrap the World in 24 Hours of Song"?

At 09.00 every child in every school, in every country, in each of the 24 Time Zones around the world will gather in their own assembly areas and sing for one hour.
You can sing and dance and make music and enjoy yourselves anyway you wish.

That's all there is to it!
That's all you have to do!

Remember...
  • The day >>> Tuesday 22nd September 2009
  • The time >>> 09:00 - 10:00 (9am to 10am)
  • The place >>> Your own assembly hall

Why?
For the fun of it!
It will be fun to become aware of our own Time Zone: to think that the sun is rising on other people too at the same time from the north pole to the south pole and that they are starting their day just like we are - with a song.
And it will also be fun knowing we are passing on the singing just like a Mexican wave (Hola Mexico!), right around the world.

How will a "24-hour Whole World Singing Assembly" work?
It will start with the children in Time Zone 1 (that is GMT +12 or UTC +12), which includes Fiji and New Zealand. At 9am (09.00 hrs} they will begin an hour of singing, at the end of which the children in the next Time Zone will be starting their singing, it being 9am where they are.

Simple! Right around the world. For one whole day!

But why 22/09/09?
The 22nd September is the time of the Equinox, when day and night are of equal length on either side of the world, the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern hemisphere and spring Equinox in the South.
It is also the very next day after the International Day of Peace: the world has a whole new year to look forward to. And what better way to begin it than to have a new way of looking at our world and our place in it. We are all Children of our Time Zone.
