David Rovics grew up in a family of classical musicians in Wilton, Connecticut, and became a fan of populist regimes early on. By the early 90's he was a full-time busker in the Boston subways and by the mid-90's he was traveling the world as a professional flat-picking rabble-rouser. These days David lives with his family in Portland, Oregon and tours regularly on four continents, playing for audiences large and small at cafes, pubs, universities, churches, union halls and protest rallies. He has shared the stage with a veritable of who's who of the left in two dozen countries, and has had his music featured on Democracy Now!, BBC, Al-Jazeera and other networks. His essays are published regularly on CounterPunch and elsewhere, and the 200+ songs he makes available for free on the web have been downloaded more than a million times. Most importantly, he's really good. He will make you laugh, he will make you cry, he will make the revolution irresistible.

The Institute for International Cooperation and Development is an international learning community where holistic sustainable human development is realized. Globally, everyone who is willing and able to contribute - independent of the "who, what, where, when, why and how" of birth or of any political, economical, social, technical, environmental and/or cultural barriers and boarders - has the right to be given equal opportunity to participate in and gain from the development process. It is upon this first human ethos that we design and shape a structure of mutual responsibility, respect, support and understanding that we can build our lives upon. Learning how to live and work - to recognize, to do, to be - in an environment of cross-cultural diversity as we evolve into a more expansive and liberated world perspective, is the foundation of the 6 months training program and the 6 months volunter program.
