Our Story

Many Journeys.

One Mission. 

A Global Creative Movement for the Planet.

For more than two decades, Jeannette Barcelos Kravitz has led immersive global experiences that bring young people into direct contact with the world’s most pressing challenges.

Through sponsorKIDS Charities and PeaceJourney, over 250 students have traveled across 15 countries—engaging with climate issues, cultural understanding, and humanitarian realities through storytelling, film, music, and shared experience.

At the core of this work is a simple belief:
Shared experience has the power to transform perspective—and inspire action.

 

What is SongLAB?

EarthSTARS SongLABS are creative environments where artists, storytellers, students and cultural voices come together to create music inspired by nature and real-world experiences.​

 

Built on years of international songwriting collaboration, SongLABS go beyond traditional camps by focusing on storytelling, rooted in environmental experience, cross-cultural creative exchange, music with purpose and meaning. Each SongLAB is designed to reflect the voices, stories, and perspectives of the people involved—creating work that resonates far beyond the room.​Creative Collaboration:

SongLAB sessions guide the creation of music that is both authentic and industry-relevant.​EarthSTARS is intentionally designed as a collaborative model—one that extends beyond any single voice to develop social impact music to help heal the world.

Supporting the creative process are noted curators, including Chad Richardson, whose background spans global songwriting, artist development, engaging Grammy-level + aspiring artists, and music leadership.

The Strength of Each SongLAB

 

It comes from the diversity of perspectives in the room.​

 

A Growing Global Network EarthSTARS is expanding a global network of:

  • curators,

  • music educators,

  • artists,

  • producers,

  • cultural leaders.

 

We are inviting collaborators from around the world to help guide and shape SongLAB experiences—both onsite and remotely. This approach ensures that each SongLAB reflects local culture while contributing to a larger global story.​

 

Where This Is Going​  EarthSTARS is building a platform where songwriting and story creativity become a shared language—connecting people across borders, backgrounds, and disciplines.​​Because the future of this work is not about one leader.It’s about many voices creating something meaningful together.
