AIM
The MEP Group aims to strengthen the role of music within education and cultural policy by serving as a high-level international forum for structured policy dialogue, comparative insight, and strategic coordination among organisations shaping music education systems. It addresses shared structural challenges, funding frameworks, governance questions, and emerging system-level developments across diverse national and regional contexts.
HISTORY
In response to a 2018 call by the International Working Group on Music Education & Global Competence, which was made up of representatives from the OECD, Germany, United States, England, Finland, Singapore and Australia, the International Music Education Policy Group (MEP Group) was established to advance music education through sustained policy dialogue.
CHAIRING ORGANISATION
The chairing organisation supports the MEP Group by providing strategic guidance and recommendations on its development. The current chair is the Arts Council England, the national development agency for arts, museums, and libraries in England.
SECRETARIAT
The MEP Group is an initiative of the Arts Investment Forum, a non-profit organisation registered and based in Germany that was founded by the Aspen Institute (Washington DC) and the Faculty of Music at Cambridge University to promote investment in arts and culture.
