The European Agenda for Music is much more than a policy document. It is a way-marker for the music sector itself.

If the music sector can come together across Europe with all the stakeholders, it should be possible to achieve a similar momentum nationally, regionally or locally. And this would immeasurably strengthen the sector.

The EAM is a living product and the process is continuous.

what others experienced

Many other organisation have already witnessed how helpful the Agenda can be. For some it was successful national policy work as it got more leverage with the European perspective. Others have used the structure to formulate a more detailled policy paper for their specific sector. Yet others use it to form new cooperations with a focus on overcoming the obstacles formulated in the Agenda.

“The European Agenda for Music was a useful tool for us to work on the strategy for the future of the sector of collective singing, both in the Singtank who started working on a strategy for the sector in general in 2018, and for our board and team who suggested a new strategy for the association to the membership in 2020.”

“Based on the EAM document, emphasizing the cultural value of European culture, as well as the importance of music education, the Latvian National Music Council supported the initiative of Latvia music industry participants to make changes in Latvian government regulations to reduce the music lessons in schools. As a result of the initiative, the decision to reduce the music lessons in schools was canceled.”

“From lounge music in beach bars to orchestras in historic concert houses, from death metal bands to folk ensembles, the European music sector is as massive as it is diverse. With the agenda, it now has a common ground showcasing that differences are actually complementarities. It makes the EU motto “united in diversity” a reality in music!”

”The whole agenda constitutes an (almost) exhaustive reference of the problems of musical practice, of the stakes and contexts, of the means and public policies, and I have been using it on several occasions as a source of inspiration and resource for exchanging or working on a topic.”
