Diversity at universities of music
A European working group on diversity, identity and inclusion has presented its final report. It asked itself how European universities can open up to groups of people who are not yet represented there.
Among other things, the working group collected various examples and approaches for opening processes and created a self-diagnostic tool to evaluate the degree programs. It was part of the "Strengthening Music in Society" project, which ran from 2018 to 2021. It was based at the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC). The AEC is the European network of conservatoires.
Members of the working group were Clara Barbera (Berklee College of Music, Valencia Campus), Joshua Dickson (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland), Baptiste Grangirard (Pôle Aliénor, Poitiers), Stefan Heckel (University of Music and Performing Arts Graz), Katja Thomson (University of the Arts Helsinki), Mojca Piškor (Academy of Music Zagreb) and Alfonso Guerra (AEC Brussels). The results can be read in a free e-book.
