Protecting music schools against corona consequences
Securing music schools against the consequences of the coronavirus - strengthening structures and future viability! is the tenor of the Koblenz Declaration, which the Association of German Music Schools (VdM) adopted at its main working meeting and sponsors' conference in Koblenz.
In it, the VdM calls on the federal and state governments to support music schools as public educational institutions in a further digital pact by providing appropriate investment funding for digital infrastructure in the same way as general education schools in the previous digital pact.
In panel discussions, lectures and working groups, more than 200 participants discussed the digitalization of music schools with regard to education management and transformation processes together with representatives of the municipal umbrella associations.
Topics included successful and legally compliant digitalization options in the field of communication and in the teaching context, the further establishment and securing of cooperation opportunities with daycare centres and general education schools, as well as inclusive work with people with disabilities, especially in times of Corona.
