| The 10th European Forum on Music 2021 "Claiming a front row seat - the place of music in Society" took place as an online event from June 2nd to 5th. It offered a variety of sessions, including keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive workshops and networking sessions for the music sector to exchange and to discuss the role and place of music in society. Even though the music sector was hit hard, it will come out of the crisis stronger, more resilient and claiming its rightful place which will be reflected in future action. After a keynote the forum started with a panel discussion including questions and answers from the audience with video bites of music projects showing the importance of music for society and dealing with the working conditions of musical artists. In the Covid-19 lounge participants could exchange information on challenges, best practices and needs of music organisations in and after the crisis. The second day gave space to the relationship between music and sustainable development goals (SDGs) in cultural sectors: 1) Music as a provider of life interest and meaning for people that will replace consumerism. 2) Music, music organizations and musicians as promoters and drivers of the change we need. In the context of weighing out values, there was a lively discussion about weighing the pros and cons of environmental issues and cultural exchange. Another interactive debate focused on overcoming stigma and getting back to enjoying music. Valuable future-oriented information was given on EU Copyright Directive and a General introduction to EU funding: Creative Europe (Cooperation Projects and Networks) and Horizon Europe. Of course, there was some time left for networking and exhibition. As an artistic side programme of the EFM 2021 some concerts and a movie were offered. |
