Budget for Creative Europe is approved
Some news about Creative Europe!
The budget for Creative Europe (Culture, Media and Media Mundus) is agreed. The global budget will be 1.29bn €, (in 2011 prices, equivalent of 1,46bn in “actualised prices”) compared to the 1.6 bn (in 2011 prices) initially proposed by the EC. This is an increase of around 9% compared to the current programme for 2007-2013.
The programme’s Financial Guarantee facility should be activated in 2016 while 2015 should be dedicated to capacity building for the financial intermediaries that will manage the facility.
The European Parliament is expected to approve the legal basis for Creative Europe in plenary in November.

Live DMA joins the fight of spanish live music venues!
Spain is facing a critical situation, aggravated by a 21% VAT rate for music venues, that’s why professional organisations of different subsectors affected by the rise of VAT to 21% have decided to launch the campaign “Save The Music and Night” in order to mobilize the workers and businesses and get the support of the public.
They protest against the decision of the Ministry of Finance and defend the right to leisure and entertainment culture.
Finally, the business community and nightlife professional believes that it is time to put in place to promote and defend the right to freely enjoy culture but also to protect businesses and jobs.
The campaign will start on Saturday July 27th at 2:00 am with a minute of silence in all the venues involved in the campaign. They will also broadcast the protest song “Save The Night”.
On 21st of each month these protest actions will be repeated until the Ministry of Finance delete the application of 21% VAT in the nightlife and entertainment.

Lighthouses a new project about artistic professions is begining in September !
Live DMA and some of its members – ACCES, Court Circuit Clubcircuit, Dansk Live, FEDELIMA and VNPF- Are involved in a new Leonardo da Vinci partnership, life long learning programme.
LIGHTHOUSES is a professional training programme. The targeted audiences are artistic professionals (bookers – responsible of the musical program content-, artistic directors and communication managers).
This project aims to identify the skills and abilities needed in artistic professions on the european scale; through international workshops.
Partners will organise 7 three-day training seminars on several topics linked with the needs of the professionals: communication management and tools; Development of voluntary environment; artistic leadership and the art of programming and concept development; the place of artistic emergence in the project of European venues linked with territorial issues; how to build an artistic programme that engages a wider audience and a seminar about innovative web communication.
Partners identify a need of training on a European level regarding these issues. The purpose of LIGHTHOUSES is to define a European nomenclature, shared by these 3 categories of jobs. In order to identify the scope of employability on a European level, we will produce job descriptions and focus on the skills and abilities needed by these professions. This work will be done by professionals in the cultural field, and it will end with the creation of a “quality label”. Most of the skills and abilities of the cultural actors still come from the “field”. Many professionals in the live music sector agree on the fact that one does not learn how to become a professional, but that one becomes a professional by learning his trade in the field. LIGHTHOUSES will be a first step to answer the question: how to get our informal knowledge being recognised?
More information to be announced soon !
Musication : Music & Education
You can follow the whole project on a dedicated blog
http://musicationproject.wordpress.com/
MUSICATION is a project carried by 5 popular music organisations from 5 European countries (Court Circuit – Belgium, La FEDELIMA – France, VNPF – Netherlands, D’Orfeu – Portugal, ACCES – Spain). These organisations are part of the “LIVE DMA” network, representing 800 venues and festivals on the European territory.
During the past five years, new categories of jobs seem to appear in European popular music venues. Alongside their main activity which is organising concerts, many of them also develop educative and social activities, meaning that new kinds of professionals are working in these venues. We think that it is a major issue for our venues, for the professionals who work in these organisations, for the public.
What does this mean in terms of professionalisation, and impact on the public, the venues’ projects and the territories?
With MUSICATION we plan to build a cooperation network and a frame for exchanges between the professionals in charge of educative activities in modern music organisations in the partner countries, collate the partners’ experiences, and conceive and experiment a common pedagogical frame aiming at professionalising the employees in charge of these educative activities. This also contributes to promote cult ural diversity and European citizenship.
We will pilot a research on the topic in each country. The results will be published on the Internet. We will also organise work meetings between the employees in charge of educative activities in music organisations and the partners’ staff, consisting in the observation of activities organised in different countries and exchanges of experiences. We will build a common curriculum aiming at professionalising the employees. A final conference will allow us to disseminate the results of our project and imagine new opportunities and cooperations.
