Unseen faces / unheard voices

how to ensure migrant communities have a meaningful place in our programmes and organisations

DISCUSSION GROUP | Friday 26 September 2025 | 15:00 – 16:30 | Castello Svevo, Cappella

How can the music sector more meaningfully include migrant communities, not just on stage, but across audiences, teams, and decision-making spaces? This session will share practical examples of how EJN members and partners have built inclusive programmes, collaborated with migrant-led organisations, and responded to social and political tensions through music. We’ll also explore internal strategies for structural change, including data collection and inclusive governance, to ensure migrant voices are not only heard, but empowered.
