The Diversity, Inclusion & Gender Equality (DIGE) Working Group of the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) has launched “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Higher Music Education: An Invitation for Action”.
This resource package is welcoming institutions to explore, discuss and implement practices fostering Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in Higher Music Education (HME), inviting peer colleagues to collectively dream up possible futures for HME through DEI work, which responds to the need to accommodate the plurality of backgrounds, artistic paradigms, access capabilities, identities and aspirations amongst current as well as future students and staff.
The publication
The publication contains 5 chapters, all of them grounded on the notion of resistance which can emerge when envisioned changes are planned and implemented in the institutions:
- Invitation
- Diversity, equity and inclusion landscape
- Reflections from change makers
- Dealing with resistance
- Resources for inspiration: the shortlist
The Diversity, Inclusion & Gender Equality (DIGE) Working Group Working Group is part of the AEC – Empowering Artists as Makers in Society project (ARTEMIS, 2022-2025), under Work Package 8: Shaping and implementing fair, inclusive, diverse and gender-equal frameworks in HME institutions. Co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission.
