In the spirit of Danny’s love of music and commitment to dialogue, Daniel Pearl World Music Days uses the power of music to promote tolerance and inspire respect for differences. World Music Day concerts are held around the world during the entire month of October, coinciding with Danny’s October 10th birthday. Daniel Pearl World Music Days has grown to include more than 3,100 performances in 85 countries. In 2005, we introduced World Music Days eStage, a monthlong radio station and permanent online gallery which features music, poetry, art, articles and dedications reflecting Danny’s lifetime of work connecting people through words and music.

Prepare and Educate Aspiring Reporters for Leadership (PEARL) introduces young adults to journalism through internships, web-based news services, and other youth-oriented journalism programs sponsored by the Daniel Pearl Foundation.

PEARL World Youth News is a unique international web-based student news service run by secondary school students from around the world with the focus of developing high standard journalistic skills. This program is a collaboration with the International Education And Resource Network (iEARN), with access to more than 20,000 high schools in 109 countries. Participating students, trained by volunteer journalists, select the issues to be reported, and write, edit and publish their articles on a web-based news service. In addition, school newspapers may choose to publish articles from the PEARL World Youth News to add an international component to their local school newspapers.

To qualify to be an international correspondent for this global youth news service, students are required to complete The PEARL Reporter Certification Program. This program teaches reporting techniques - from writing leads (opening lines of an article) to finding sources and conducting interviews. In the spirit of Daniel Pearl, there is special emphasis on ethics in journalism, integrity, and truth in reporting, which are the cornerstones of a reporter's credibility.

The Daniel Pearl Foundation partners with the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships and the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) International Journalism Exchange (IJE) to bring mid-career journalists and editors to work in U.S. newsrooms.

The Daniel Pearl Journalism Fellowship established in partnership with the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships brings promising, mid-career foreign journalists to work for six months in a US newsroom. It is an invitation to Danny’s former journalism colleagues to continue his mission by writing for the audiences for whom he wrote, working with his colleagues and getting to know the U.S. press from the inside. Journalists from South Asia, the Middle East and/or North Africa are encouraged to apply.

The Daniel Pearl Editorial Fellowship program in conjunction with the International Journalism Exchange is designed to provide participants with (i) a practical understanding of the function and significance of the editorial process in the free press in the United States; (ii) writing and editorial skills and (iii) continuing ties to journalists, editors and news publications in the U.S.

The Daniel Pearl Media Internship provides two-month internships with newspaper, radio, and TV hosts to Israeli and Palestinian youth, age 16-23, who have participated in a co-existence and dialogue program. In partnership with Crossing Borders, we provide internships to graduates of the Peace it Together and Crossing Borders camps. The objective is to provide youth who understand the destructive power of hatred and who have "seen the human face of the enemy" with opportunities to become journalists and thereby amplify voices of reason and humanity in their respective societies.

The Daniel Pearl Dialogue for Muslim-Jewish Understanding is a series of personal yet public conversations between Daniel Pearl’s father, Professor Judea Pearl, President of the Daniel Pearl Foundation, and Dr. Akbar Ahmed, Chair of Islamic Studies at American University.  The program grew out of Professors Ahmed and Pearl's shared concern about the deterioration of relationships between Muslim and Jewish communities around the world, and their strong belief that reconciliation between these two Abrahamic faiths can be achieved through frank and respectful dialogue. The discussions range from theological issues and historical perceptions to current events.
