"In the sprit of reconciliation, let's tell our stories, acknowledge our stories and write a new story together - through song."

You are invited to join us for this special Virtual National Choir Mashup Video to sing a new a very special version of a song that has featured in our Peace Projects from our very first one on Bondi Beach in 2017.
For our 2021 National Peace Project, we have changed the words from "Young and Free" to "One and Free" to reflect our passion for reconciliation and to be inclusive to all Australians, including our First Nations people. We believe that we must share our stories, acknowledge our stories and write a new story together. We hope to make a start through song as we stand together in peace around the nation this Australia Day for our Virtual National Peace Project choir mashup video for 2021.
Record your own voice, or get your school, choir or music group together (COVID restrictions permitting) and send in your video! we encourage you to be creative. Dress up, hold up your flag, go on location (Bunnings BBQ, down by the river, significant icon or location such as the Opera House?) or somewhere that means Australia to you.
Do you play an instrument? The drums? The violin? Didgeridoo? Do you have a band? Provided you stay in the same key (for tuned insturments) and follow the guide tempo, you might want to add an instrumental, a rap etc.. or something we can use in between the verse and choruses or just play your instrument along with the guide track. Download the sheet music guide or improvise. Have some fun with it and let's see what we can do together.
