Our annual Model Sharing Symposium is a chance for all of us in youth music ensemble management to get together online, free-of-charge, and learn from our guest speakers and from each other. 2025’s edition will take place throughout the week of 13-17 October, in five practical hour-long sessions we hope might even be approaching the end of your working day: 17:00-18:00 CET.

Culture budgets being under pressure everywhere, we’ll take a particular look at EU strategic priorities and funding frameworks for culture. We’ll also continue last year’s focus on environmental sustainability, this time moving to the nuts and bolts of successful implementation and building a handbook of good practice. The Symposium will begin and end with two key topics that underpin everything we all do: inspiring and motivating young musicians, and supporting them in their wellbeing and mental health.

Team EUYO will be joined by inspiring guest speakers Hugo Ticciati, Rhys Nugent, Nikoletta Polydorou, and Raluca Matei – and we look forward to welcoming and being inspired by all our attending colleagues in youth ensemble music management, too.
