Citizens' Assembly for Music

Young people shaping the future of music

The Citizens Assembly for music brings together young people aged 16-25 from across the UK to deliberate on issues and recommend solutions that shape the future of music policy, whether they want to develop their skills, build a career in music or experience it as a source of joy.

There will be a mixture of networking, panel and roundtable discussions. Within this registration form, each audience member will be asked to come up with two questions to be considered for the event.

Young people from the music hubs Tri-borough and Lancashire have co-curated this assembly in partnership with Music For Youth, who are hosting the event at B:Music, Birmingham on Saturday 8th July 2023. 10am - 2pm
