Online registration open for European Youth Forum on Music: Access!

Access! – the first European Youth Forum on Music - will take place from 15-17th October 2010 in the European Youth Capital 2010 Turin (Italy). Through specialised workshops on a variety of topics, from policy, management and education to the role of the musician in the 21st century and music and social change, you will have the unique opportunity to broaden your skills, knowledge and contacts. Furthermore, you will be part of creating the European Agenda for Youth and Music and thus make a long-term contribution to the enhancement of youth participation in the future of European and international music life.

One major and long-lasting outcome of the project will be the drawing up of the European Agenda for Youth and Music, a qualitative document outlining the current interests and future aspirations of young people in the field of music in Europe and beyond. This document will be disseminated globally and serve as a reference for European music organisations, European politics and as a stimulating agenda for young people.

Access! is for all young people under the age of 30 with genuine interest or experience in music, to participate and to get connected, to meet professionals in the field and to explore a wide range of issues linked to a career in music.

Access! is an initiative of the Working Group Youth (WGY) of the European Music Council. More information and registration at http://www.emc-imc.org/working-group-youth/access/. The application deadline is 8th August.
