Having set out a strategic vision and long-term roadmap for CLA at the beginning of his tenure, Phloeun has led the organization to extend its reach from local to international programming; to expand its community from the old generation of teachers to the new generation of emerging leaders, artists and entrepreneurs, and to evolve its role from straightforward transmission of traditions to stimulating expression and innovation. As someone born during the genocide, Phloeun is proud to have returned to Cambodia and be part of the movement to use the arts for healing, social transformation and economic development.

Give me Five! The Five Music Rights in Action

The 6th World Forum on Music

The World Forum on Music of the International Music Council (IMC) is conceived as an influential global platform for sharing knowledge about music and society in the 21st century, a platform that explores a variety of topics from different perspectives: cultural, political and economic. The topics go beyond the aesthetic aspects of music production and address the mechanisms that promote or inhibit the active participation of people in cultural experiences.
 
A non-commercial initiative, the forum allows musicians, managers, festival directors, academics, educators, activists, policy makers, government officials and other professionals of the global music sector to engage in high-level interdisciplinary discussions and brainstorm together on guidelines for action.
