Jazz Day Relay 2025: Learning for Lasting Peace

The UNESCO Creative Cities of Music Network has announced a new collaborative music video to celebrate International Jazz Day on April 30, 2025 while raising awareness for Sustainable Development Goal #4 - Learning for Lasting Peace

For the third edition of the Jazz Day Relay organized by the Member Cities of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN), the theme is Learning for Lasting Peace – SDG Goal 4: Quality Education.

Building on the success of the 2024 Annual UCCN Meeting in Braga, Portugal, and the conference theme “Bringing Youth to the Table” – the 2025 edition of the Jazz Day Relay features UCCN Member Cities and their young musicians in a project built of solidarity, creativity, and resilience.

Each year, the UNESCO Cities of Music share a video montage of music from the UCCN Creative Cities on the occasion of 30 April – the International Day of Jazz.

For this year, the Music Subnetwork of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network highlights contributions from 21 Music Cities of the UCCN Network.
