Call for The YOUNG IFCM for the 2023-2026 Term
Published: May 30,2023

The idea for creating the Youth Committee of the International Federation for Choral Music came after a successful program for young choral and cultural managers. In 2022 during the World Choral EXPO in Lisbon, Portugal, IFCM organized its first YOUNG program - Youth International Cultural Management program. Following the interest of young people who applied for the program and their input, hard work, and personal and professional growth during the event, the Board of Directors of IFCM decided to form a YOUNG IFCM - youth committee. With this committee, IFCM wants to offer young people worldwide a chance to learn, expand and exchange their knowledge and develop in the field of choral music and choral management by including them in the very heart of the federation. This strategy aims to set up the basic borders and rules of forming a youth committee of IFCM, but also its objectives, works, coordination, organization, governance, and evaluation. 

IFCM is opening a call for The YOUNG IFCM for the term 2023-2026. Qualified applicants for this term are those born not earlier than 18 June 1994 and not later than 17 June 2005.
