June is Music Against Child Labour Month and as we approach the International Day Against Child Labour on June 12, we're calling on musicians everywhere to use their voices to raise awareness about a reality that still affects millions of children around the world. ✊

Today, more than 138 million children are engaged in child labour, many of them deprived of their right to education, safety, and a childhood.

The Music Against Child Labour initiative invites musicians, bands, choirs, orchestras, and music lovers everywhere to dedicate a concert in June to the global fight against child labour. A single performance can help spark conversations, raise awareness, and inspire change.

Use your stage. Raise awareness. Be part of the movement.

JMI joins 25 other organisations from across the European music sector in welcoming the European Parliament's draft report on AgoraEU and its recognition of music as a dedicated strand within the future programme.

This is an important step towards stronger support for Europe's music ecosystem, recognising both the cultural and social value of music, as well as the unique challenges faced by artists, educators, organisations, and music professionals across the sector.

We particularly welcome the report's focus on sustainability, fair remuneration, diversity, inclusion, cross-border collaboration, and the need to place human creativity at the centre of future cultural policies.

As negotiations continue, we join our partners in calling for the necessary funding, sector dialogue, and practical tools to ensure a strong and sustainable future for music in Europe.

Together, we continue to advocate for a music sector that is vibrant, inclusive, and accessible to all. 🇪🇺🎶

The JMI Creative Resilience Training 2026 has officially come to an end! 💛

Over the past days, we gathered in Weikersheim, Germany for inspiring exchanges, new connections, and valuable learning moments focused on accessibility in music and creating more inclusive musical spaces for all. 🎵

A huge thank you to our wonderful trainers Ella and Jess from Youth Music for sharing their knowledge, experiences, and insights throughout the training. 💬

We are also incredibly grateful to our co-organisers Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland and to all the dedicated participants and members of the JMI network whose commitment, openness, and energy continue to make this community so special. 🫂

Until next time!
