The project is aimed at the fostering of development of New Music in Ukraine and the integration of Ukraine into the worldwide and European cultural space. The concrete objective of this forum is the elaboration of common approaches and criteria of functioning, development and international collaboration of NGOs and creative individuals in the sphere of New Music. The concrete objective of this forum is furthering international collaboration of NGOs and creative individuals in the area of New Music. Networking associations of organizations for new music must be aimed at developing contemporary art trends, at supporting of all the new, oncoming, and talented.
Last years, this problem was discussed at various festivals, conferences, and meetings including those held by the Association New Music. Many festival organizers have supported the idea of uniting different countries' actions in time and contents. If some festivals are held in few countries consequently, with time breaks between them, it is possible to exchange participants as well as to harmonise their conceptions and even to elaborate common conception of the festival movement. In addition to resolving organizational problems and reducing expenses, this activity could foster the feeling of cultural community, unite festivals differentiating in countries, cities, venues, forms, and contents, but linked by modern conceptual paradigms.
Another point of the agenda is the collaboration of NGOs at the international level. First of all, the difference of conditions for NGOs functioning in different countries is to be underlined. This difference is due to the law, registration procedure, sponsoring and taxing conditions, presence or absence of state and community support, unanimity of the artistic elite. The Ukrainian NGOs exist in the situation, which can be defined as certain uncertainty or stable instability. This situation requires a particular kind of planning, with versatility and quick reacting for situational changes. We must operate with more tools and components while planning in order to take (if necessary) 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. In our turn, we have to remember other countries' specifics.
In same way there appears a problem of cultural dialogue and interaction between different music civilisations of the world at the contemporary epoch of informational globalisation. This process is of exceptional importance for music culture both at the worldwide and individual level.
As another important component, the forum includes discussions about prospects of regional international organizations' networking, creating functional databases of contemporary music, online magazines, integrating countries of our region into various informational networks.
The Forum programme consists of two directions: (1) round tables with the participations of representatives of Ukrainian and foreign associations, directors of festivals and (2) concerts, audio - and video actions. During round tables participants will discuss stages of organizing and holding of festivals, master-classes, conferences and other cultural actions.
