The World Drum


Our school had a very special visit today from 'The World Drum Project.'

We learned about the purpose of The World Drum and its special journey around the world, promoting World peace and harmony.

We all took part in some clapping games and enjoyed hearing a demonstration. It was amazing to think about the drum's journey all around our globe and all of the famous hands that have played it!

Quote from the participant Oglala-Lakota John Two-Hawks:

“…And so, as the World Drum continues its global journey, may we all come to understand that the heartbeat of this humble drum beats inside all of us. The World Drum really is you and I. Let us all listen to that heartbeat of connection, peace and mending. After all, Mother Earth, all her children, and the seventh generation are hanging in the balance...."
