Roundtable Location: 01-Fanny Hensel Saal (AW) Mapping Inclusion at Schools through Music Education Curricula from Five European Regions |
Roundtable Location: 02-Clara Schumann Saal (AW) Chair: Isolde Malmberg Chair: Marina Gall Chair: Finn Schumacker SCHEME group (Steering Committee for the Harmonisation of European Music Education) Advocacy in Action: How Schools and Organisations Can Shape the Next EU Budget How are EU priorities for culture and education decided - and how can schools, organisations, and practitioners influence them? The question is extremely pressing right now, because the multi-year financial budget of EU funding programs is currently being negotiated – with major implications for cultural policy and also the role of music education in the countries. This session explains how the European Union funds culture and education through its long-term budget, the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), and where democratic input matters most. Participants will explore practical advocacy routes: engaging with the European Parliament, contributing to consultations, mobilising networks, and using evidence and storytelling to shape funding priorities. The session equips participants with concrete actions to influence EU decision-making - individually and collectively - before key budgetary choices are finalised. |
