Panel: The Thriving Music Ecosystem and the Added Value of Networking.

Music is a powerful tool for building community, transforming local economies, and artistic expression. It feels vital to develop a continuous fieldwork effort that brings together all the constituents of this important ecosystem to optimize its functioning.

The purpose of this discussion is to promote a circular conversation to identify, question, and solve collaboration dynamics in the music field. A collective perspective to strengthen the search for strategies of proximity, articulation, and communication that favor networking within a configured system (RTCP), but designed to empower the role of the arts in the national territory and contribute to its cohesion.
