AEC, Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen, Brussels-based, Belgium, https://www.aec-music.eu/ is urgently seeking a Project and membership management Trainee.

Description of AEC

The European Association of Conservatoires (AEC), founded in 1953, is the leading voice for higher music education (HME) in Europe, representing a dynamic European cultural and educational network with almost 300 institutions for professional music training in 55 countries (conservatoires, music academies and universities, musikhochschulen, etc.).

As leading voice for HME AEC sees professionally focused arts education as a quest for excellence in three areas: artistic practice; learning and teaching; research and innovation. It seeks to foster these elements and to encourage the diversity and dynamism with which they are pursued in different institutions, countries and regions through the organization of European projects, congresses and seminars, exchanges, research and by representing the interests of its members on European, national and international level.

AEC understands and supports music and arts education, together with cultural participation, as central contributors to quality in human life, and inclusive societies founded on democratic values.

Each year the AEC organizes, in a different European country, the Annual Meeting for International Relations Coordinators of European Conservatoires and the AEC Annual Congress, with the aim to discuss relevant subjects in the field of higher music education in Europe and to exchange information. There are also events with specific themes, such as the Pop and Jazz Platform in February, or the European Platform on Artistic Research in Music.

As far as projects are concerned, the AEC coordinates since 2018 and until 2021 the project 'Strengthening Music in Society (AEC-SMS)' which addresses - among other themes - diversity, learning and teaching, entrepreneurship, and digitalization; AEC is also involved as a partner in various other projects.
