As a European umbrella organisation, it gathers the European members of the International Music Council. The European Music Council contributes to a better mutual understanding among peoples and their different cultures and to the right for all musical cultures to coexist. Therefore it provides exceptional value to its membership by building knowledge; creating networking opportunities as well as supporting and enhancing the visibility of initiatives that help sustain people’s participation in music and cultural life.

Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.dnb.de. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston Cover: www.tagul.com Typesetting: Konvertus, Haarlem Printing: CPI books GmbH, Leck ♾ Printed on acid free paper Printed in Germany www.degruyter.com Foreword by the Series Editor There is a debate on the future of Europe that is currently in progress, and with it comes a perceived scepticism and lack of commitment towards the idea of European integration that increasingly manifests itself in politics, the media, culture and society. The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

  • Claiming a Front Row Seat for Music
    Claiming a front row seat for Music “Music is at the centre of the well-being of our spirit, of our body and mind. It’s not only entertainment, it’s more than that!” Angélique Kidjo in her keynote at the 2021 European Forum on Music After more than 15 months of lockdowns, and hardly any concerts, festivals, collective singing, band or orchestra practice, clubbing and music education in or out of schools, the music sector in Europe and the world is at risk of turning into a stigmatised sector where only very few forms will survive. “In addition to the current health and economic crises, humanity faces nothing less than a potential global “cultural catastrophe”, with severe, long-lasting consequences for cultural rights – and other human rights – if necessary action is not taken immediately by all relevant actors. Karima Benoune, UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights We enjoy the recent re-opening of many parts of the music life and we hope that societies can start to recover from this unexpected pandemic. We welcome the “EU’s guidelines for the safe resumption of activities in the cultural and creative sector”1 and we can confirm that the music sector has always put health and safety first and will continue to do so. Nevertheless, infection rates may go up again, and therefore, we turn to you today with the request to take into account the societal relevance of the music sector in your political actions. We are grateful for the diverse and rapid support that the EU and national governments have provided as a reaction to the crisis.2 Now comes the time to think long-term and to fully acknowledge the artistic, social and economic value of the music sector.

  • Activity Report Summary 2019
    FACE – Annual Activity Report 2019 SUMMARY 2019 INTRODUCTION In July 2018, after 5 year of activities, on the occasion of the Assembly General Meeting in Gent (Belgium), members decided to validate the (r)evolution of the organisation and to take the time to review its focuses and fields/types of intervention in order to reposition it in today’s European cultural landscape, assess its activities and develop its sustainability. Members agreed 2019 should be an “année blanche”, a year without the usual activities proposed. Following the fruitful discussions, FACE decided to continue to deliver some activities, especially the ones the network already committed to towards different partners. The international association contributed to several capacity building programmes focusing on the internationalization of professional practices, on initiating formal and informal transnational collaboration. Finally, taking on board the first outcomes of the thorough analysis led during the “année blanche”, FACE joined forces with colleague European organisations to develop an Erasmus+ “strategic partnership” project. ACTIVITIES MEETINGS • 22-25 May 2019: General meeting of On the Move @ Arts and Theatre Institute in Prague (Czech Republic) • 15 October 2019: General meeting @ Kaaitheater, Brussels (Belgium) on the occasion of the workshop i-Portunus dedicated to the presentation of the preliminary study of this pilot European mobility scheme for artists and culture professionals. 14 WORKSHOPS & SEMINARS – 400+ PARTICIPANTS • 10-13 February 2019: Annual
