First Right - Freedom of Expression
| The right for all children and adults to express themselves musically in all freedom is something many of us – especially in Europe – take for granted, but sadly, that is not the case throughout the world and sometimes not even in Europe. In our session, we will be joined by distinguished guests who work with oppressed artists and by musicians who have themselves experienced the threat of imprisonment just for having created and performed music. We will demonstrate that even in 2019 we have a lot to learn about both freedom of expression and freedom of movement. The language of music should be universal in its power to inspire and heal. Please join us to share in our experience and be inspired yourselves to reach out to your communities to ensure that music is indeed available to us all. |

Fourth Right - Artistry Development and Communication through all Media with Proper Facilities
| This session promises to bring an insight on a global perspective of how individuals engage with music making and focuses on opportunities for all musical artists. This will be tackled from a variety of perspectives, including access to distribution channels and trends in professional training, which cover entrepreneurship and distance learning. Many new platforms and streaming services are promising the creative community an easy and cost-effective access to reach their targeted music customers and fans. But is the claim of equal distribution opportunities and easy access to the market holding its promises? Are creators from all over the world equal when facing access to market? Join us to find more about it! |

Fifth Right – Just Recognition and Fair Remuneration
| In order to have fair remuneration for all musical artists there has to be just recognition of their contribution to the musical ecosystem, but, besides that, there needs to be consciousness about the value of music. It is value for artists, for listeners and for the society as a whole. Join us in an in-depth discussion on the prerequisites for a thriving and diverse musical landscape, and how it can affect your society when the creatives, globally, are said to obtain an even stronger role in the future. |
