Period: 1.2.2024 - 31.1.2027

Innehåll: Nordic Music Creators (NMC) is a network in the Aurora region comprising Novia
University of Applied Sciences, Musikmakarna- Songwriters Academy of Sweden,
Yrkesakademin i Österbotten, Lappfjärds folkhögskolan and Kulturakademin
Storuman. With extensive connections within the regional, national, and global
music industry, we aim to provide a platform for competence development,
innovation, and collaborative ventures. By partnering with songwriters,
entrepreneurs, students, and small to medium-sized enterprises within the
industry, NMC will elevate the region's entrepreneurs in the global market. The
project will engage in innovative songwriting camps, seminars, webinars, and
networking events among artists, musicians, songwriters, and producers. Other
project objectives include entrepreneurship within creative industries, gender
equality, and health and well-being within the music industry.

Within the project, we gather knowledge, skills, and contacts into a common
pool for project partners, our network in the Aurora region, and international
collaborators. In the long term, the project contributes to increased business
activity and music export.

Who Can Participate in Nordic Music Creators?
All online events are open and free. Collaborating partners will also have the
opportunity to participate in our creative camps, innovation labs, and events.
To participate in camps and innovation labs, participants will need to have
strong skills in songwriting and music production. For camps, there will
typically be an application process for individual participants based on their
portfolio. Songwriting and music production carried out within the project will
maintain a high level of artistic and professional quality. We will also
organize activities and events suitable for partners with younger participants.


Further information about events and activities within the project will be
published during the spring on the organizations' respective websites or social
media.
