JMI is a global network of NGOs that provides opportunities for young people and children to develop through music across all boundaries. Open to all styles of music, we work for and with youth, harnessing the power of music to bridge social, geographical and cultural divides, creating an international platform for intercultural dialogue and acceptance.
JMI was founded in Brussels, Belgium in 1945 by a group of compassionate musicians and organisers who saw music as a means of bringing young people together to overcome the divides created by the two World Wars. Today JMI is present in over 50 countries worldwide and continues to enable young people to develop through music across all boundaries.
Our Mission: To empower young people through music.
Our Vision: Access to music for every child. Let them create, play, sing and listen with heart and mind.
