The European Music Council (EMC) will host the SHIFT partners and they will start their joint initiative supported by the European Commission Erasmus+ programme.
Climate change, gender equality and inclusion of minorities are key challenges for our rapidly changing world. Arts and culture have a recognised role in shaping societies and have the potential to significantly contribute to a better and more sustainable future for all as recognised in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project SHIFT will provide training initiatives for cultural leaders, working together and creating paths to face such global challenges. Implementing changes where needed and passing on the gained knowledge to leaders and staff members, of cultural networks and the broader cultural sector are key targets of the project.
The partners will produce online manuals and guidelines during these two next years (December 2019-December 2021). More information here.
