EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS

General objectives

This call is confined to the artistic creation in the music sector and, for the purpose of this call for proposal, the terms of co-creation and co-production are used as synonyms that
depict the collaborative process of artistic creation of lyrics and songs, aiming at commercialisation and revenue generation.

the general objective of this call is to identify and to support at least 10 innovative and sustainable pilot co-production and co-creation programmes for songwriters and musicians in the music sector with a clear European added-value  in order to facilitate the development of European music repertoire.

Specific objectives
The proposals should demonstrate their contribution to the following compulsory specific objective:
Organise a nurturing and inspirational camp of European dimension to group creative people to improve the participants’ songwriting skills. The camp should provide opportunities to learn from experienced professionals, boost creative writing skills,
enable collaboration with other camp attendees, help build the participants’ songwriting network, promote networking with successful music industry professionals, and help participants navigate through the creative process and the business side of songwriting.
The proposed co-production and co-creation schemes should have a clear vision on how the produced musical products will be used for pitching and envisage how they can reach the audience.

General objectives

The purpose of this call is not to use music as a means to
achieve social inclusion, but rather to attract less advantaged children to the world of music. the overall aim of this call is the
elaboration and implementation of at least 8 innovative approaches to foster informal/non-formal music education and learning, involving either education institutions or representatives/representative organisations from the education sector cooperating with representatives/representative organisations of the music sector. The objective is to test small-scale projects with a European dimension. 

Specific objectives
The proposals should demonstrate their contribution to the general objective by covering the two following specific objectives:
1. Promote the cooperation between non-formal/informal education and the music sector with the aim to foster social inclusion, i.e. access to music for less advantaged children or community involvement;
2. Develop a small-scale project with a clear European added value, that is suitable for the exchange of good practices and could lead to a knowledge transfer for similar projects in other countries.
