MBRASIL organized a competition to choose the musical theme for IMYM – CHANGE, and received eight compositions from the Marist Provinces of Brasil for final selection. The songs were chosen by the Organizing Commission of the IMYM and a technical committee composed of the music teachers of the "Colégio Marista São José Tijuca" and "São José da Barra". The song chosen was Let’s Change the world, whose author is Cristiano Ramos Pereira. MP3 -> www.champagnat.org IMYM RIO 2013 will take place before the WYD, from 17 to 21 July 2013, at the "Colégio Marista São José" – Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. The theme of the meeting is: "CHANGE: make the difference!" and the motto: "go and make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28: 19). We are already insisting on
the importance of preparing the young people who will take part in the Marist meeting and the WYD. UMBRASIL (the Marist Union of Brasil) is co-ordinating the various aspects connected with the organisation of the Meeting and working closely with the Organizing Commission of IMYMO RIO 2013, in order to assure its success.
