The project is generally aims at the fostering the development of New Music in Ukraine and the integration of Ukraine into the worldwide and European cultural and informational space. The concrete objective of this forum is furthering international collaboration of NGOs and creative individuals in the area of New Music. The forum's theme is acquaintance with recent achievements and development of festival movements in different countries, discussing possibilities of interaction and realization of collaborative projects. The forum has two directions:

1) roundtable discussions by leaders and representatives of home and foreign New Music associations, festival directors

2)festival events - performances, concerts, audio- and video-actions.

Networking associations of organizations for new music must aim at developing contemporary art trends, at supporting all the new, oncoming, and talented.

This problem was discussed at various meetings including those held by the Association New Music. Many festival organizers supported the idea of uniting different actions. If some festivals are held in three countries with time breaks, then it is possible not only to exchange participants, but also to harmonise their conceptions and to elaborate common conception of the festival movement. In addition, this activity could foster the feeling of cultural community, unite festivals differentiating in countries and contents, but linked by conceptual paradigms.

Another item of the agenda is the collaboration of NGOs. The difference in conditions for NGOs functioning in different countries is to be mentioned. Due to the law, registration and taxing conditions, state and community support. The Ukrainian NGOs exist in the situation of stable instability, which requires a particular planning, with quick reacting for changes. We must operate with more tools and components while planning in order to take a new orientation due to situational changes. Such a particularity of planning is to be taken into account by the partners working in more stable conditions.

The forum features representatives from developed Western Europe, America as well as from "transition" countries, from Asia - India, Korea and Japan. There appears a problem of cultural dialogue and interaction between different music civilisations at the contemporary epoch of informational globalisation. This process is of great importance for music culture.

As another component, the forum includes discussions about prospects of regional international organizations' networking, creating functional databases of contemporary music, online magazines, integrating countries into various informational networks.

The Forum programme consists of: roundtable conference and festival events, including performances, concerts, audio- and video-actions, meetings, press conferences, etc. The festival programme includes a performances dedicated to contemporary Ukrainian and foreign music. Among the participants there is a well-known Ukrainian ensemble of soloists Kamerata Kyiv, other Ukrainian and foreign soloists and ensembles, including for the first time in Ukraine a Greek Ensemble of Contemporary Music.

The following results of the project could be very important:

- regular exchange of experience between musical NGOs of different countries and regions of the world, coordinating their activity;

- providing support to each organization participating in the forum by holding network events, know-how seminars and implementing joint projects;

- strengthening the Ukrainian public concern for New Music and foster the development of New Music;

- subsequent integration of Ukraine into the worldwide cultural space.

The Forum aimed at fostering the development of the New Music in the Ukraine as well as its integration in the European and global cultural space. A conference and a concert series represented a special event. It took place in various halls (Actors Club, Literaró Museum, Greek Culture Centre, Hall of Odessa section of the Ukrainian Composers' Union and Worldwide Odessites' Club).

The entrance to all actions was free of charge. The participants and guests had got the detailed information about the situation in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Scandinavian countries, Ukraine and others.

Prof. Bernhard Wulff set the pitch by reviewing his unique experience of organising festivals in various countries of Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine), America (Uruguay) und Asia (Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam). He called the Mongolian festival Roaring Hoofs a "child" of the Festival Two Days and Two Nights of New Music in Odessa and the forthcoming Festivals in Kyrgyzstan und Vietnam its "grand-children". The conference participants consented, that contemporary festivals, particularly for New Music structurally should not be conceived as primitive conventional concert series, but they must originate from some integral.

We are witnesses of the globalisation processes in the area of New Music, especially concerning its appearance and development in post-communist and some non-European countries. The support for such processes needs a developed and various international informational infrastructures. In addition to international networks, another new international both thematic and regional networks are to be created. Particularly, such regional networks have the perspectives, if they could unite developed and so-called transition countries, e.g. Black Sea, Balkan and Danube countries networks.

The participants and guests of the Forum got the detailed information about the development of the MIC Odessa Ukraine, its new production, and the online-magazine www.musica-ukrainica.odessa.ua.

The Forum was interesting for Ukrainian and international mass medias. The average number of the public was nearly 200-300. The wishes were expressed about the regular holding of such conferences.
