Code of Values
IAMIC
Code of Values
At the IAMIC Conference 2025 in Serbia, Belgrade, our members developed and workshoped our code of values together. Our Members adopted these values by unanimous vote at our General Assembly 2025, as binding commitments and guiding principles for our work together. They embody the spirit and culture of our international organisation and the diversity of our partners and their cultures.
Together, our membership has created a code of values which show that IAMIC is an organisation for everyone and supports our ongoing work in service to music, across the world.
