Marion Petit (Fr)

Sustainable practices manager at Grabuge

Marion Petit is in charge of sustainable practices at Grabuge, the pop music industry network of the Grand Est region. She coordinates projects aiming at equity, eco-responsibility and health prevention for the members of the network and more broadly for all the actors of pop music in the region. The Grabuge network supports them in the implementation of prevention actions for professionals and public audiences.

Grabuge is the network of pop music industry in the Grand Est region. It was born in 2020, following the merger of the 3 former regions Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne.

The main objective of the network is to allow players to act in a common ecosystem, while remaining independent and nourishing it with their variety of points of view, professions and aesthetics. Grabuge counts about 85 members today. Joining the network is a form of support and participation in the movement. The network resonates beyond the members since it is open to all actors of pop music, whatever their project, their desire and their aesthetic.
