The World Forum on Music team would like to thank you very much for your participation and contribution to the 6th World Forum on Music in Paris. It has gone by so fast and we sincerely hope that your attendance was useful, productive and thought provoking.
 
As a direct follow up to the WFM and the inspiring presentations and speakers, we would like to share with you the following opportunity related to the First Music Right: Freedom of Expression. We encourage you of course to be active in defending and promoting all Five Music Rights in your daily lives and work.

Safe Haven residencies for persecuted art practitioners
 
 
 
 
 
Safe Haven residencies for persecuted artists are organized around the world by different organizations and networks. As was shortly mentioned at the WFM, the Finnish Music Council & the Finnish Musicians’ Union are collaborating with the AR – Safe Haven Helsinki residency and SafeMUSE, which is organizing residencies, tours and projects and other opportunities for persecuted artists.
 
Here is information on the cities that Artists At Risk and ICORN (International Cities of Refuge Network, ICORN cities) are organizing. Maybe you will find your city on the lists, maybe you will find a chance to collaborate, invite the artists to the local community and offer your support and networks. We warmly recommend it.
 
SafeMUSE Safe Music Havens Initiative is an independent non-partisan and non-profit membership association with the main purpose of offering persecuted artists and artists at risk a safe place to stay and work with freedom of artistic expression. SafeMUSE are organizing residencies, projects and tours, and are always in need for partners and funders for good opportunities for persecuted artists.
