About Sound of Entrepreneurship

The music industry has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with its main activities put on hold since March 2020 across Europe. It is likely to not recover fully for at least another two – three years. Those working in the music industry are now facing unprecedented financial disaster due to coronavirus. Musicians and music workers are in a social and economic uncertainty and as a consequence they feel frustrated, depressed and disengaged in the music community.

The SOE project aims to encourage unemployed/disengaged musicians and music industry workers to adopt a more inclusive and sustainable personal development through  empowerment,  self-marketing  and  entrepreneurial  skills. Musicians, music industry workers and aspiring music industry entrepreneurs will be provided with a new learning path related to the development of basic and transversal skills, innovative managerial competencies and entrepreneurial spirit and to validate the updated and transferred competencies.

Through the learning tools provided, they will be able to empower themselves and improve their working conditions, thus having a positive impact on their physical and mental health, and personal development. The project will also help build their resilience on how to overcome issues brought on by the pandemic.  Adult  educators  who  work  closely  with  musicians and  music  industry workers will be engaged from the start of the project and trained on how to use non- formal  approaches  within  entrepreneurship education  for  musicians,  music  industry workers and aspiring music industry entrepreneurs, based on art and music business experiences.
