Make Music! Be Heard! Placement Press Release

Young people involved in music in Europe today have much to offer the music sector, yet their voice is often not heard! This project seeks to give young people the know-how and confidence to make a stand for their needs and rights, whilst at the same time help the 'older generation' recognise the benefits of including young people in all aspects of an organisation's activity.

In the frame of the project, 7 young people from across Europe will be given the opportunity to undertake a week long work experience placement with one of the MM!BH! project partners: European Music Council (Germany), International Music Council (France), Flanders Music Centre (Belgium), Jeunesses Musicales International (Belgium), Scottish Music Centre (UK), Zebrock (France), European Choral Association - Europa Cantat (Germany).

If you're a student, young music professional, or simply a lover of all things music related aged 18-30, then this the scheme for you! This is your chance to gain an insight into the reality of working in the music sector, with opportunities at the host organisations including PR and communication, music education, event management, office adminitration, cultural policy, project management etc.

Successful applicants will receive a grant covering travel to the host organisation, local travel, accommodation and meals for the duration of the placement.
