In the midst of the SHIFT project
The SHIFT - Shared Initiatives For Training - project just closed its first year and successfully submitted its interim report to the Erasmus+ national agency (Erasmus+ is co-funding this project). As we are looking forward to working on the second and final year of this very interesting project with our partners, we would like to take some time and look back at what has already been achieved.
First let's talk with a few numbers!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I would start by stating the obvious and that is that 2020 has been an extraordinary year for us all and especially for those of us working and participating in the music sector at every level.

SHIFT Newsletter September 2020: Inclusion
