EveryoneSong - Strangers Will Be Friends.

EveryoneSong is a project space where people from different cultures share their favorite music and personal life stories without language barriers thanks to simultaneous live translation, enabling people to establish human relationships based upon common interests, experiences and shared feelings.
How do we structure our weekly meetings?
After a short introduction round, our guests individually choose a piece of music or a song that brings up certain memories for them. They then tell a short story from their lives, sharing experiences with the other participants. The music is then played and it’s magic is powerful. Music brings those sharing it together. It creates a new story between those listening to it.
On one hand, feelings of separation and alienation are replaced with familiarity and community. And on the other hand, new worlds open up for all participants regarding cultures, societies and, of course, music!

Our goal is to develop "EveryoneSong" as a platform and to provide our model for other initiatives in other places in Berlin and throughout Germany. To make this possible, we need your support.
We invite you to join our team, to be part of this project.
Participants: EveryoneSong focuses itself on all people currently living in Germany and/or Berlin as well as on all people who come to Germany and/or Berlin, regardless of nationality, gender, religious identity or cultural background.
Donors: EveryoneSong urgently needs material and immaterial support by individuals, institutions, nonprofits and initiatives.

EveryoneSong is new. It is a simple and entertaining, yet effective way for people from different backgrounds to find pleasure in being together in one place, spending time together, getting to know each other, and thus creating a new social culture.
We can all profit if places like EveryoneSong are available in our cities. In times like these, EveryoneSong is a base for true intergration.
Up to this point we have invested €10,000 privately to start and continue running EveryoneSong. The time spent for administration, operation, advising and program development have been 100% volunteer. Now we can only continue with your support!

When we Started EveryoneSong we believed in the idea, and we tried and improved it over the last 10 months. Today we are certain that it works.
The Program costs us € 1,200 a month. (€ 500 for rent, €200 for heat, €500 for administrative fees)
We are ultimately aiming for public funding to finance this program. 
But in the mean time, we are looking for donations totaling € 7000.00, as well as your participation, your network, and your ideas, to help us keep going. With this support, we would be able to reach this goal within the next 3-4 months.
Every extra Euro you donate will allow us to continue running and optimizing this program.
€ 20,000 would enable us to create a film that visualizes the social impact and effect EveryoneSong has had on those involved. We would use this film to reach out to other funding opportunities. It would also to encourage other organizations to follow the same method. More strangers would be friends.
