International Music Council (IMC) The International Music Council (IMC) is a membership
organisation created in 1949 by the Director General of UNESCO as the advisory body to the agency on musical matters. It is based in Paris and functions as an independent international NGO maintaining a formal associate relationship with UNESCO.
Over the past almost 60 years, IMC has developed as a world expert organization, a forum for exchange and reflection and an observatory in the field of music.
IMC works through and for its members to internationally support the development and the promotion of diverse music and the role of musicians in the context of social, cultural and economic development.
Through its members, IMC has direct access to over 1000 organisations in 147 countries across the world.

involvement through participation, listening, creation, and information;

The challenges for all European umbrella organizations is that there is hardly a European public space.

to define common interests and concerns in the field of cultural policy on EU level monitoring current situation and changes in music life and
bringing out information of developments in cultural politics to strengthen the cultural sector by sharing experiences to discuss possible common activities to prepare a meeting between EU, cultural networks and

MixIt! Artistic Expression is a human right. Young
people from migrant backgrounds deserve particular attention. Music should never be the preserve of a privileged social elite. Any elitist concept of culture has to be challenged.
As artistic expression is a human right, it is as fundamental to the basic school education as reading, writing and arithmetic, claims the UNESCO World Conference on Arts Education (Lisbon, March 2006). Making music and singing need to be seen as an integral part of any curriculum from nursery to secondary school. Cultural diversity has to be included in these curricula.
Cooperation between formal and non formal music education is essential for the acquisition of intercultural skills. The cultural scenes themselves offer a wide range of projects with integration aspects in popular and other music styles, which respond to the environment and context of children and young people1. These projects on grass root level, which are created by artists, organisers, labels and other cultural operators, should be well recognised and supported financially and structurally.
Traditional university programmes do not provide the skills and knowledge needed for the work in multicultural societies. Universities shall change their programmes in order to produce learning outcomes that enable the students to teach music in culturally diverse surroundings.
People from different cultural backgrounds should be involved in teaching and leading music projects.
Appropriate artistic and pedagogical training should be provided. Artistic and pedagogical competences, not diplomas, should define the recognition.
People from different cultural backgrounds should be involved in the planning, organising and managing of music projects and in music education.
Mobility is the oxygen of culture and intercultural dialogue. Appropriate funding and accessible visa regulations have to be provided for cultural operators.
Musical diversity and intercultural competences have to be learned, not the various musical cultures. It is important to propose music projects in ethnically and linguistically mixed groups.
Platforms for cultural exchange and space for intercultural discussions have to be provided.
The media should strengthen their role as mediator and present the richness of various musical cultures.

Communication and networking Influencing the course of arts and cultural policy – at any level – is
laborious and time consuming. Cultural policy at the European level requires extensive co-
operation between artists, cultural organisations, government ministries, and the politicians and officials responsible for cultural affairs in the EU.
