Thank you very much for having us, @IMC_Network. It was a pleasure for Arn and me to discuss about the #FiveMusicRights with colleagues from all over the world. Great connections for future collab with #Cambodia. Now off to Abu Dhabi where Arn will speak at @NYUADInstitute#peace
Big thank you to @Helvetas and @regulagattiker for inviting me to talk about the role of arts and culture in processes of peacebuilding, development and social change. It was a pleasure to exchange ideas with you all - let's continue this conversation.
When the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, Arn was sent with hundreds of other children to a prison camp. He survived by entertaining soldiers with his flute-playing. Hear the full story from Arn on Oct 2 at 6:30 PM. RSVP HERE: https://t.co/QglDJlzGEF #inabudhabi
