Music, a global universal language, connects people from different walks of life. It is a powerful agent of social change, reaching millions of people, raising awareness of social, economic, cultural, and environmental facets of development. Recognizing this potential, the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, positions music as one of the seven creative fields to support its member cities in their common quest to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

On the occasion of the 2021 International Jazz Day, Creative Cities of Music will continue to celebrate this Day to recognize the uniting power of jazz to promote peace, cooperation and intercultural dialogue. As in the previous years, Creative Cities will organize a diverse array of activities spanning from live concert to exhibitions and film screenings.
