Author: OWW | Date Published: 20/06/2019

These Guidelines focus on organising events that will communicate the urgency to act before climate change damages the ecosystems on which we depend.

One World Song

Author: Portsmouth Music Hub | Date Published: 02/10/2018

The ONE WORLD song

The 'One World Song' was first produced by the Portsmouth Music Hub, as a film of its 50 choirs and 2,500 singers, for the BBC Music Day 2018. They are very happy for us to adopt it as our 'Song for One World Week' and share it.

"The message is simple: that the environmental choices we make every day will change the world" - so it fits well with OWW's environmental aims and any theme or event with an environmental theme.

Do watch – it’s great. Perfect for us. We are welcome to share it and use it. So do pass the link on to schools, choirs etc. The score and lyrics are available, too, so people can join in the singing. Find them (and other related songs) here http://www.portsmouthmusichub.org/one-world/

It would make a great introduction (or send off) for an event or a school assembly. 

Watch and listen to it on youtube now!  -  it’s guaranteed to make you smile!

More than Enough - Pledges

Author: OWW

You can use these pledges to encourage people to think about what they can do to move beyond the current culture of consumerism towards being more engaged with our families, our neighbours, our local communities, our national affairs and our greater one world family.  Humanity cannot afford to continue to consume the planet’s resources at the current rate.  Wasteful use of resources is depleting and damaging ecosystems, increasing the rate of species extinction, and driving climate change, and leaving millions of people hungry. But reducing the time and money we spend shopping for the latest fashionable thing, releases us to engage in all sorts of activities that can make our lives more fun and more satisfying and contribute to making our local and global home a better place for everyone.
