Our friends at the Working Group Youth of the European Music Council have developed, through consultation across Europe with young people involved in music, the MANIFESTO FOR YOUTH AND MUSIC IN EUROPE.
Take a look, and if you would like to support it, add your name to the online list of supporters!

We recommend you keep these dates free, this promises to be a very interesting conference. Hope to see you there!
http://www.imc-cim.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=364&Itemid=2
The International Music Council (IMC) invites you to attend its 4th IMC World Forum on Music and 34th General Assembly to be held in Tallinn, Estonia, September 26 - October 1, 2011 under the title “Music and Social Change”. It will be co-organised by the European and Estonian Music Councils in collaboration with the Estonian Academy for Music and Theatre.
IMC presents its World Forum on Music (WFM) as a global knowledge-building platform on music and society in the 21st century, which explores a variety of topics from diverse perspectives: cultural, political and economical. The IMC World Forum on Music is considered one of IMC’s main contributions to setting the stage for the free celebration of music in the world.
The 2011 World Forum on Music will focus on five areas which IMC and EMC considers being of crucial importance to the world of music:
• Music as a tool for social change
• Current challenges and opportunities for music education
• Music distribution and export
• Music and development
• Youth: informal spaces
By seeking synergies across different sectors, this high-level forum will provide exceptional opportunities for scholars, government officials, private sector executives, civil society professionals, artists and students to engage in serious debates on current key issues. The work sessions during the Forum will be presented in a variety of formats: panel sessions with invited speakers, workshops, round table discussions and project presentations.

Symposium on Music – Conflict – Transformation
9th and 10th May 2011, SocArts, University of Exeter, UK
In the past decade there has been a growing interest in music and social conflict both inside and outside academia. Interdisciplinary research from music sociologists, ethnomusicologists, music psychologists and musicologists has focused on music’s dual use, both as a resource for conflict transformation and as a medium that can be used to incite conflict and channel violence. This research has also dovetailed with practical initiatives by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), local communities, academics and individuals attempting to utilise music to avoid or transform conflicts.
Together these activities are slowly improving our understanding of the interesting, and at times pivotal, functions of music related activities in conflict and post-conflict scenarios. However, it is clear that there is still a great deal of conceptual work to be done in this field if we are to understand the processes (negative as well as positive) that take place in and around music and conflict/conflict transformation. Similarly, there is as yet little empirical research available to elaborate this conceptual base. The time is ripe for increasing the dialogue between researchers, practitioners/musicians and participants with regards to work in this field.
