Today in class we viewed a dvd called Playing for Change and Mrs. Bystrom has asked us to reflect on what this initiative means. What was your reaction to the video, the music and how might this create change? What type of “Change” is hoped for through this music? How are these artists using their gifts and talent to promote change? How might I use my gift and talents to promote change? What type of positive change can I be a part of by using my strengths?
