The Touring Network pledges support to making Scotland’s music industry more inclusive

The Touring Network is one of 45 organisations from across Scotland’s music industry to become a founding signatory of the Scottish Music EDIA (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility) Manifesto and Action Framework – a new sector-wide initiative designed to help build a more equitable, diverse, inclusive and accessible Scottish music industry by 2030.

Led by Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA) and Supported by Creative Scotland, the Scottish Music EDIA Manifesto and Action Framework were developed over a two-year period through the SMIA’s independent EDIA Advisory Group and consultation with stakeholders from across Scotland’s music ecosystem.

While the Manifesto sets out five core pledges for the future development of the industry, the accompanying Action Framework translates those principles into practical delivery through a series of commitments focused on investment, training and feedback.

The Touring Network joins SMIA in inviting all individuals and organisations working across Scotland’s music industry to become signatories and commit to the Manifesto’s shared vision.
