John Lennon was undoubtedly one of the greatest visionaries in the world of music of all times, inspiring all generations. That is why gathering the popular voices and global audience for#IMAGINE project and UNICEF causes seems like a winner.

Here is the story behind it: on November 20, during the musical performance at The UN General Assembly, UNICEF unveiled the#IMAGINEproject, thus marking the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.The#IMAGINEproject brings together artist Yoko Ono, Secretary -General Ban Ki-moon, renowned music producer and DJ David Guetta, UNICEF Ambassadors – including Katy Perry, Angélique Kidjo, Daniela Mercury, Priyanka Chopra, Yuna Kim – and a host of other high profile supporters ''with the aim of creating a unique moment in music history that will highlight the tremendous challenges children face the world over.''

The promise that every voice counts becomes a reality thanks toTouch Cast, a NY-based technology platform where all intersted people can sing Imagine, along with their favourite stars. UNICEF hopes that the largest ever global sing-along of John Lennon’s symbolic anthem will inspire donation for children causes in 150 countries and territories.
