We are pleased to announce the launch of MusicACT – Activating Careers in Music for Youth. The project is implemented by El Sistema Greece (Greece), Sistema Cyprus (Cyprus), Trillargento (Italy) and the Reina Sofía School of Music (Spain), with a shared mission to support young musicians in building sustainable and inclusive careers in the music sector. MusicACT is a 24-month Creative Europe Cooperation Project co-funded by the European Union.
The project addresses key challenges faced by emerging musicians, particularly those from marginalized communities, by providing access to training, mentorship and real-world artistic opportunities. Through a combination of residency-based learning, online training and professional mentoring, MusicACT will equip participants with essential skills in digital self-promotion, music monetisation, creative entrepreneurship and environmentally sustainable practices in the cultural sector.
A central element of the project is the development of a Digital Resource Hub, which will offer long-term access to training materials, tools and resources for young musicians, educators and cultural organisations across Europe and beyond.
The project will also include a 3-day international residency in Athens, mentoring activities, concerts and artistic outputs, as well as dissemination workshops and an international online seminar, ensuring wide visibility and impact at national, European and international level.
Through its activities, MusicACT aims to strengthen cooperation between social music programmes and higher music education institutions, while promoting inclusion, innovation and sustainability in the European music ecosystem.
