The International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation (IYMF) is delighted to invite you to a high-level event at the European Parliament on Monday, 22 June 2026.
Hosted by MEP Marcos Ros Sempere (CULT Committee), the event brings together EU institutions, Member State representatives, international organisations, civil society and artists to explore a question that lies at the heart of Europe’s education agenda: what role can the arts play in shaping the education?
A High-Level Dialogue
The roundtable will bring together voices from EU Institutions, civil society, and international organisations:
- MEP Marcos Ros Sempere, host and member of the CULT Committee
- Georg Häusler, Director for Culture, Creativity and Sport in the European Commission (DG EAC)
- UNESCO Brussels Office
- Brikena Xhomaqi, Director of the Lifelong Learning Platform The Lifelong Learning Platform
- Member State representatives – TBD
- The International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and the MUS-E® Programme
An Evening of Ideas and Music
Following the roundtable, the event will continue with a live artistic performance by two IYMF Artists Ambassadors, singer and MUS-E artist Barbara Valentino from Italy and the Belgian guitarist Quentin Dujardin — a musical moment that embodies the very values we will have spent the afternoon discussing, in a journey through the Mediterranean.
The evening will conclude with a networking reception near the European Parliament, offering speakers and participants the opportunity to continue the conversation in a convivial setting.
