Rethink

Music industry constitutes an important driving force of the European culture. Over the last few decades, it has changed significantly, being now at a point of rethinking itself. Especially now, this industry is facing challenges that are putting its future at risk. The ongoing crisis has unearthed the already existing problems of our sector that need to be addressed systematically and holistically.

Footprints is a new collaborative project that aims at reforming the music sector and introducing the values of social, economic and environmental responsibility to its activities.

...with a collaborative project

Create

Created on the initiative of the Periscope from Lyon (France) and Wytwórnia Foundation from Lodz (Poland), Footprints is a direct continuation of Jazz Connective project which has been implemented by 6 European countries within years 2018 – 2020. Footprints will introduce a series of activities aiming at helping all the actors of the music sector to move around the European music market and at consolidating the European creative music community around the values we currently need more than ever.

Together with 4 experienced European partners Bimhuis from Amsterdam, Druga Godba from Ljubljana, Austrian Music Export from Vienna and Oslo Jazz Festival from Oslo, the project plans to provide education, training and mentoring programmes for artists, agents and promoters.
