Website for the youth-and-music launch
In September 2016, the national Youth and Music program will enter its pilot phase with the first Y+M training modules. The Federal Office of Culture has launched a new website for this purpose.
The Confederation's Youth and Music (Y+M) program is a consequence of the adoption of the music initiative and aims to encourage children and young people to become musically active and thus "to promote their development and unfolding in a holistic way from an educational, social and cultural perspective", writes the Federal Office of Culture. It stands for the broad promotion of children and young people.
The program is based on three pillars: support for music courses for children and young people aged between six and twenty (from 2017), support for music camps for children and young people aged between six and twenty (from 2017) and support for the training and further education of leaders of these courses and camps (from 2016).
The development and implementation is carried out in close cooperation with the music organizations. The implementation of the program was transferred to Res Publica Consulting (RPC). The website is updated on an ongoing basis.
