A Jeunesses Musicales of Canada project, in partnership with Canadian Heritage, through the “Youth Take Charge” program.
“Join the movement” invites young people to become a part of the movement by forming a national network of music presenters—showcasing music by and for youth!
18 committees will be formed across Canada.
The project is open to young people aged 30 and under.
The objective is to organize a music event in each community.
The project’s underlying goals are to contribute to the democratization of music, to reduce social isolation, and to develop a feeling of belonging to one’s community.
