"EMCY is happy to collaborate together with the other 8 partners in the SHIFT project. In 50 year since its foundation, EMCY organised projects for its members and their prize winners, which included topics as cultural leadership and inclusion. The new guidelines that will be developed will be an extension of our last cooperation project GIVE MUSIC A FUTURE, where through music, that is the universal language, young musicians engaged with people with fewer opportunities, facing important topics like inclusion. In these fast-changing times, we truly believe the cultural sector plays the most important role in bringing together people from different social backgrounds. Improving the quality of the leadership is therefore, the first step to achieve high standard activities, on several levels."
