The keynote speaker for the B&F MLK Day Convocation is Mark Johnson, creator of “Playing for Change.” The Playing for Change project recorded and filmed a diverse group of international musicians in several different countries, playing music on street corners, in fields and even in front of their homes. The project resulted in the CD/DVD “Songs around the World.” Inspired by the experience, and by Dr. King's vision of peaceful collaboration among all peoples, Mark founded the Playing for Change (PFC) Foundation, an organization dedicated to peacefully connecting the world through music. Come hear how Mark's story can help us better understand not only how to accomplish our work goals, but also how to operate more effectively in our increasingly interconnected world.
