About the programme

The #WeAreEquals - Music Academy is a training programme for rising talents and future leaders of the electronic music sector, aimed at providing them with tools to help them develop and expand their career. We are particularly interested in identifying artists, producers and professionals who are already influential ambassadors in the music sector and are therefore able to push the agenda on gender equality and social diversity. 

This fourth edition of the #WeAreEquals – Music Academy is for rising talents and future leaders of the sector from or based in Greece, Ireland, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom and will take place on-line on Thursday 1st July. As in the previous 3 editions (Madrid, July 2019 in partnership with Madrid LGBTI+ Pride; Bilbao, November 2019 in partnership with BIME Pro; and Barcelona, February 2020 in partnership with MUTEK Barcelona) the training sessions will be run by Brighter Sound, a creative music charity based in Manchester, UK focused on developing the music creators, leaders and industry professionals of the future. 

Brighter Sound's trainers will be accompanied by special guest artists to share their personal experience dj and selector Carly Wilford, and Jayne Stynes, General manager at Music Manager Forum UK. All sessions will be conducted in English.
