IncluMusic: Increasing skills for building more inclusive conservatoires
IncluMusic (Increasing skills for building more inclusive conservatories) is a three-year Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership project aimed at fostering the inclusion of students with Special Education Needs (SEN) and disadvantaged backgrounds in Higher Music Education institutions (HMEIs).

- Creating a new professional role, that of the Academic tutor, aimed at monitoring on social inclusion practices within HMEIs and on the training process of Higher Music Education Institutions (HMEI) teachers;
- Preparing the Academic tutor, with the role of intermediation between students with disabilities and the Academic staff;
- Reinforcing the skills of Academic staff to help them work for inclusion together with the Academic tutor for Inclusive Music Teaching;
- Defining new approaches for training HMEIs’s students with Special Educational Needs;
- Creating a community of HMEIs adopting social inclusion practices.
