HelpUkraineSong
Harnessing 2023’s Eurovision to create global solidarity with Ukraine.
We created a huge global grassroots movement harnessing music, creativity & community - reaching an incredible 450 million people globally.
The World’s biggest ‘flash mob’
Everyone singing the same song at the same time & sharing it to create a huge moment of solidarity through creativity. We found a Kyiv partner agency, Hoshva, and together gathered a vast network of musicians, influencers, education and arts organisations, governments, charities War Child & UNITED24, Universal Music, Merlin Entertainment and social value businesses including Regenda and Calico.
Incredible creativity as a peaceful protest in stark contrast to Putin’s violence.
