Africa - Caribbean - Pacific - Music Festivals Network
description
This project aims to structure the local networks, to encourage mobility and exchange of expertise within ACP regions and at a EU/ACP level, to structure the economy of the field, to accompany professionalization, and to improve local and international visibility of professionals from ACP regions.
Through the association of partners from different backgrounds from ACP regions, the project creates, supports and strengthens exchange and cooperation between these regions and professionals gathered within a network.
The main steps of the projects are:
Collecting professional practices in ACP regions by the local professional networks: with a survey, every participating festival will gather information on the field in its country, and identify professionals for its own network as well as their training needs.
Creation of the ACP music festivals network: born officially at the Womex 2009, where all partners have been gathered together. Partners and professionals from their networks were included within the Zone Franche network of professionals.
Every of the 7 festivals will organize workshops and a training programme for professionals beside of its edition 2010 .
Among other things, partners will identify players from their regions who have a great development potential, especially on the international field and who will be invited to do a training period during the WOMEX 2010 on international markets access.
Creation of professional encounters on festivals: during the edition in 2011 of each festival, every partner will gather its local professional network together and the other participating ACP festivals during the festival to create professional encounters like "local markets".
Artistic focuses in 2011/circulation of the artists at an international level: the partners will have a logistical support so that they can put artists forward for the WOMEX 2011 with an ACP showcase night among others or during the 2011 edition of festivals participating in the project.

Structurer les réseaux locaux, favoriser la mobilité et l'échange d'expertise au niveau intra ACP et UE/ACP, structurer l'économie du secteur, accompagner la professionnalisation, améliorer la visibilité locale et internationale des professionnels des régions ACP, tels sont les objectifs visés par ce projet.
En associant des partenaires d'horizons divers, en provenance des régions ACP, ce projet crée, soutient et consolide les échanges et coopérations entre ces régions et les professionnels rassemblés en réseau.
Les principales phases du projet sont :
Réalisation d'un référentiel des pratiques professionnelles dans les régions ACP par les réseaux professionnels locaux : A l'aide d'un questionnaire, chaque festival partenaire a recueilli des informations sur le secteur dans son pays, et identifié des professionnels pour son propre réseau et leurs besoins de formation.
Création d'un réseau de festivals ACP : Un stand du réseau créé officiellement au Womex 2009 où l'ensemble des partenaires a été rassemblé. Les partenaires et les professionnels de leurs réseaux ont été inclus au sein du réseau des professionnels Zone Franche.
Workshops, échange d'expertises et formation interrégionale des professionnels: Sur son édition 2010, chaque festival organisera des workshops et un programme de formations pour les professionnels de son réseau.
Entre autres, les partenaires identifieront des acteurs de leurs réseaux ayant un fort potentiel de développement qui seront invités à suivre une formation au WOMEX 2010 sur l'accès aux marchés internationaux.
Création de rencontres professionnelles sur les festivals : Lors de l'édition de chaque festival en 2011, chaque partenaire rassemblera son réseau professionnel et les autres festivals ACP partenaires pendant le festival pour créer des rencontres professionnelles de type « marchés locaux ».
Focus artistiques en 2011/Circulation des artistes au niveau international : Les partenaires bénéficieront d'un soutien logistique leur permettant de présenter des artistes sur le WOMEX 2011 (showcases) ou lors de l'édition 2011 dans festivals partenaires du projet.
