The European Music Council (EMC) will present the European Agenda for Music (EAM), which was launched in March 2018. A powerful confirmation of the European music sector’s desire to join together in the promotion of a common cause, the Agenda details which directions to pursue in order to ensure a music sector that remains strong, fair, innovative and diverse in a rapidly changing world. Now it is time to put the EAM into action! How can the EAM help you to advocate for your goals? How can actors from the world music scene become involved and contribute to the impact of the EAM?
The EAM puts forward a number of suggested measures ranging from education and access to music, mobility, recognition to data collection and analysis. Which of these measures are particularly interesting for WOMEX delegates?
We will talk about actions that are already going on and explain how you can get involved: from a European Music Observatory to actions on national and regional level. What are the next steps? Are there are other ideas you want to explore?
