THE GODMOTHER

For the 2021 edition, we have the honour of having Helen Smith as godmother. For the past 13 years, she has been the Executive Chair for IMPALA, a Brussels-based association that defends the major issues of the current music sector at the European level.

Originally from Scotland, Helen leads the structure's key strategies at political, commercial and promotional levels. She helps thousands of European companies and artists to build on the collective strength and defend the interests of independent players.

MEWEM EUROPA

MEWEM is the first mentoring programme for women in music. Launched in 2018 by FELIN (Fédération Nationale des Labels et Distributeurs Indépendants), it is dedicated to women entrepreneurs with a project in creation and development.

In 2020, the project takes a new step forward and is deployed at European level under the name MEWEM EUROPA! The programme is associated with 5 countries: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain and Romania. The project will thus be able to develop and promote mentoring on a European scale.

European partners :

Germany : VUT - Verband unabhängiger Musikunternehmer*innen e. V.
Austria : Music Austria – MICA
Belgium : Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques – WBI
Spain : Asociación MIM - Mujeres de la Industria de la Mùsica
France : Le LABA (partenaire de la FELIN sur le territoire français)
