In this episode of JM International’s ‘The Power of Music’, we are joined by Nenad Bogdanovic, the Executive Director of the Euro-Arab Youth Music Centre, Planning and Development Coordinator at the Organisation for European Programmes and Cultural Relations, and the President of JM International. Nenad brings a wealth of experience and insight into how music can bridge cultures and support young people globally.

We'll explore Cyprus' unique position between three continents as the home of the Euro-Arab Youth Music Centre. Our discussion highlights the importance of intercultural dialogue and music exchanges, the significant role music plays in fostering these connections, and we take a deep dive into the institutional makeup of JMI, examining the challenges of managing such a diverse and expansive organisation. Additionally, we discuss the experience of being a “one-man band” as a cultural organiser, and – of course – the power of music.
