Europa op de Dam: Thinking Forward

On 2 July 2004 Amsterdam is the musical centre of Europe!

To mark the Dutch presidency of the European Union, celebrated artists perform at the festive opening concert Europe on Dam Square: Thinking Forward. The popular Danish hiphop trio Outlandish is one of the main acts. Budding European dancers and musicians also display their skills on stage. In the months leading up to the concert the young performers are scouted in Warsaw, Budapest, Brno, Lille, Berlin, Barcelona and Amsterdam. In preparation for their performance, a selection of talent from these seven cities participates in a week-long international master class in Amsterdam led by well-known European and Dutch artists and experienced professionals. Among those conducting the workshops and master classes are the Polish pop star Kayah, the mysterious Mitsou from Hungary, rumbareggae rappers Macaco from Spain, German DJ collective Jazzanova Crew, and homegrown Dutch soul diva Tasha’s World and Edison winner Hind. The Netherlands Programme Service (NPS) TV broadcasts the event live on 2 July on Nederland 3 and offers transmission to all European member states through the European Broadcasting Union.

Roots & Routes
Roots & Routes, an initiative of R2001, NPS, Mira Media, scouts young music, dance and media talent in cooperation with cultural, welfare and youth organisations. Roots & Routes supports their development by inviting them to participate in workshops and master classes given by renowned artists.

Music and Urban Dance: workshops and masterclasses
Since May, workshops have been held in several European cities. In each country, the most talented musicians and dancers are selected to come to Amsterdam. There they take part in an international master class week along with Amsterdam talent in the last week of June. The results of this are seen and heard during the final master class concert in the Meervaart cultural centre and in Europe on Dam Square: Thinking Forward in Amsterdam.

Media Learning Project
Following in the footsteps of Roots & Routes, the television makers of Multicultural Media Masterclasses record the urban culture in six European cities. They use youth portraits juxtaposed with the Roots & Routes theme. The six episodes – with the title Planet Europe – can be seen every Saturday afternoon from 22 May on Nederland 3 (NPS TV).In Amsterdam the master class week is being followed closely by young Amsterdam media talent. They make reports for local and regional television.

International Expert Meeting
In cooperation with De Balie and the European Cultural Foundation, on 29 June, during the master class week in Amsterdam, a closed working meeting is held under the provisional working title of Connected?…Keep thinking forward.Youth workers, talent scouts and cultural policymakers from the Netherlands and the six cooperating European countries are invited to share their knowledge and experience in the field of scouting and policy development as well as finance. The meeting also serves as a starting point for an international network for the talents in the secondary sections of Roots & Routes.
