In 2019, the Preparatory action “Music Moves Europe: Boosting European music diversity and talent” should build on and complement the two calls for tender and the two calls for proposals that the Commission launched in May 2018, during the first year of its implementation. It should address the music sector’s specific needs in the short and medium-term. With an increased budget of 3M euros, the 2019 Preparatory action offers an opportunity to develop initiatives on a larger scale than it was possible in 2018 and to explore ways of cooperation in different relevant areas for the music sector.
The Preparatory action “Music Moves Europe” aims at paving the way towards such sectorial support. To this end, the implementation of the 2019 Preparatory action will follow a two-fold approach:
– to build on and develop further actions in the fields of “training” and “export”with the call “Boosting European music diversity and talent”;
– to implement and evaluate actions in new areas, i.e.: “small venues”, “co-creation”, “health effects”, “music education” with the call “Co-operation of Small Music Venues”.
