Weimar Declaration

In 1999, the EMU unanimously passed the Weimar Declaration. The declaration is based on fundamental texts from the UN and UNESCO on the right of every person, and in particular of young people, to receive musical education and to practice the arts and culture. In the declaration, the EMU demands

  • that music schools are recognized by the politically competent levels as part of the basic cultural provision for all citizens and thus as an indispensable public task.
  • that music schools must remain the subject of cultural, educational and social policy and that politics and public administrations must not evade the structuring of the public task of “music schools”.
  • that private sponsorship is welcome, but is not a reliable basis for planning. A music school cannot fulfill its educational mandate without public funding. The fees must not be a barrier to anyone.
