MISSION

Oshawa Music Week strives to develop, support, and unite the music community within the City of Oshawa and throughout the Durham Region. Each year, OMW organizes a variety of events that acknowledge and include Durham’s diverse individuals and culture, through entertainment for music lovers to education for aspiring and established music professionals.

OBJECTIVES

Oshawa Music Week, APRIL 1 TO 5, 2025 combines several events, including a music conference, music showcases, and a tradeshow. Component parts are: seminars, panel discussions, workshops, live-artist showcases, and a cultural music festival. Each student will assume an area of responsibility, in which they will work with team members to accomplish both team and individual goals. Oshawa Music Week is also a collaboration with the Event Workshop 1 class. Students establish their teams and objectives in the first two weeks of the semesters. In subsequent weeks, teams will meet to plan the event, discuss their progress, and execute the plans. At the conclusion of the event, the class will analyze their efforts and the outcomes. This practical workshop will provide students with insights to the big-picture view of an event, task delegation, goal setting, team work, conflict management and resolution, event execution, and event resolution.
