EMMA for Peace, stands for Euro Mediterranean Music Academy for Peace. It is the heart of a global network for music education and for the promotion of a culture of peace, bringing together music institutions, universities, not-for-profit organisations, international philanthropic foundations and social enterprises. Through teaching music and international collaboration, EMMA for Peace intends to promote values of brotherhood and solidarity, thus becoming an internationally valued multicultural centre for the education and training of the new generation.
EMMA for Peace is the first project on an international scale promoting music education and cultural diplomacy built on an itinerant format. Branches of the Academy will be located in different countries of the Euro-Mediterranean region and the Middle East.
EMMA will support the establishment of an extraordinary network of excellence, which will bring together with international and national organisations, the Nobel Prize, and artists and intellectuals from around the world. A committee of men and women of extraordinary merit, unique in its field, will be launched to diffuse a universal message of peace and brotherhood amongst the youth through education and music teaching and the worth of a multiethnic culture. We already got in contact with FISPMED, one of the member of the Italian Network and we look forward to create synergies with all the members of the national network.
Starting in Italy, the peninsula at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, EMMA for Peace is the first project on an international scale promoting higher musical education built on an itinerant format. Branches of the Academy will be located in the principal cities and places of particular historical-artistic value (such as UNESCO World Heritage sites) of over 40 countries of the World. We want to join the ALF Network in order to be able to make partnerships with some organizations which have the same mission and objectives. EMMA for Peace is creating an unprecedented global network, involving official partnerships with the most prestigious institutions and with the principal players in the world of music education and international cooperation, in order to put musical education and practice at the centre of a project for dialogue among different peoples, the diffusion of a culture of peace, the promotion of artistic talent and musical excellence.
