Many may be aware that the 21st of June is celebrated as International Yoga Day. However, many are unaware that World Music Day is celebrated on the 21st of June as well.

Music often acts as an ideal catalyst for bringing together people and reducing cultural boundaries. World Music Day celebrates all the genres and the joy that rhythms and beats bring to our lives. Around the world, many countries celebrate the day by hosting concerts in public places.

Today, organisations are partaking in the celebration, and we know of some of the perfect ways you could.

If you are looking for ways to organise a fun and exciting World Music Day 2023 celebration at the workplace, this article is for you.

Way To Celebrate World Music Day At The Workplace

Planning a World Music Day celebration at the workplace doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The list below covers some of the quickest ways to get started with the fun.

Host Musical Chairs

We have all attended or hosted a birthday party where musical chairs were an integral part of the celebration. You could embrace and promote nostalgia by hosting an after-office World Music Day special party for your workforce, with musical chairs as the centrepiece.

You could also indulge in traditional music-related games, such as passing the parcel or musical statues. This will help employees get together and free from the stress they may experience.

Create A Group Song

Let’s face it. We all have tried writing a song at least once in our lives. World Music Day could give you an opportunity (or an excuse) to do it in front of your teammates!

You can ask your workforce to come together and brainstorm a concept around which you all can create a song. Then, you can ask the group if anyone knows how to play an instrument. You can work on the song lyrics based on how it would sound when played on the instrument. And there you have it, your very own group song!

Hot tip: This fun group activity is an excellent way to encourage teamwork.

Ask Artists To Bring Their Instruments To Work

More often than not, employers are oblivious to the lives of their employees outside the workplace. While it is great in certain aspects, knowing employees’ creative side might just work in the favour sometimes, on World Music Day, for instance.

You may have employees with hidden talents, such as playing a guitar or ukulele. On World Music Day, you can encourage them to bring their instruments to the office and host a little office party with sing-along live music, making your employees the stars of the show.

This will help them feel valued and appreciate that you encourage and support their talent outside of the workplace as well.

Take Your Employees Out For A Fun Evening

Several restaurants today collaborate with artists for a live music evening. You can make reservations in advance and take your team out for a fun, music-filled evening. You can sing along with the artist, dance to the beats of the live music and eat your heart out, all this while bonding deeper with your workforce.

You can also buy your workforce tickets to a concert (or some other live music show) or offer them as a prize for a musical game day.

Create A Work Playlist

If you let your employees play music at the workplace during their lunch, you can take this opportunity to create your office playlist.

Ask every employee their favourite song and include it in the playlist. You will find a mixtape of different genres and languages, thus commemorating World Music Day in the best possible way.

Conclusion

These are all the International Music Day 2023 activities at work that you can organise. Just remember that the aim of organising these activities is to let your employees have fun and celebrate the joy music brings.
