Forum for Folk Arts takes education, the exchange of knowledge and best practices in the field of folk heritage as its primary mission. The not-for-profit arm of the Hangveto group has enabled many mutually enriching projects internationally, and gained a wider audience for heritage based music. See our projects on the website of Forum (in Hungarian).
Venturing into tertiary education, the Hangvető team developed a summer course within CEU’s framework, exploring the topic of music as heritage. Repeating every year since 2019 and increasingly popular, the course provides insight into modern musicology, explores various aspects of musical heritage management with an emphasis on audience development and socially conscious business policies.
RoadTrip is the first European block booking network, serving venues, artists and sustainable touring. The Forum For Folk Arts initiative is supported by LIVEMX and co-funded by the European Union. RoadTrip sets out to build a network of 30 venues that are willing and able to organize greener and more efficient tours.
