Welcome to the June Newsletter!

Dear colleagues and friends,

‘The right for all children and adults to have access to musical involvement through participation, listening, creation and information’

With the project Strengthening Music in Society, AEC contributes to the 5 music rights and enhances the connection to our audiences and society. Higher music education is depending on a healthy and well-developed musical and cultural ecosystem, which secures recognition, freedom and support. We are therefore happy to represent our members at the World Music Forum in Paris this September.

Eirik Birkeland, AEC president

AEC & Advocacy

With the European election campaign coming to its end, there is currently a bit less action in terms of the lobbying of the political institutions and policymakers. We therefore decided to focus in this newsletter on another key aspect of advocacy, namely the collaboration with partner organisations.

Strengthening Music in Society

In June, the chairs, the working group coordinators and the AEC Executive Committee came together in Brussels to discuss the progress of the project Strengthening Music in Society. Read more about the management of AEC's largest project.

INTERMUSIC
INTERMUSIC (INTERactive environment for MUSIC learning and practising) is a development project focused on the use of online and digital tools for music learning & teaching and music performance.

SWAIP
The SWAIP project held an intensive programme in Alicante, working with wellbeing, dementia and architecture with students and teachers from the fields of music, theater, design, architecture, fine art, art therapy, and education.

Upcoming Council & ExCom elections

During the General Assembly taking place on 9 November in Turin, the AEC active members will need to elect three candidates for the Executive Committee and six candidates for Council. Having a good number of committed candidates for these posts will strengthen the results of the election

Tuning in!

The project "Tuning In! Routes to a Career in the Music Sector" at MDW – University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna will invite graduates and senior students of European Higher Music Education Institutions (HMEIs) to join a training programme that supports them in the development of a personal career road map.
