The Conservatory of Milan, founded 1807, with over 1700 students, 234 teachers and more than 100 study programs is one of the most important institutions for the study of music, with national and international prominence. The strategic plan for internationalization aims to place the Milan Conservatory among the reference institutions for Higher Music Education at European and world level, strengthening its network of contacts, exchanges and collaborations with the major institutions of the sector. For this reason, the Milan Conservatory intends to join the Erasmus + program, and in particular to take part to the Key Action 1 and Key Action 2, with following objectives:
In the context of KA1:
– increase mobility of students and teachers, both incoming and outgoing, of 25% in the next seven years.
– enhance quality and flexibility of the education offer, thanks to the exchange of experiences between teachers and the comparison between different methodologies and educational systems.
– joint productions with Italian and foreign teachers and students
In the context of Key Action 2:
– consolidation of the expertise already gained in the management of strategic partnerships projects during the previous edition of the program.
– internationalization of the curriculum.
– development and enhancement of online teaching and blended learning.
– Making good use of distance learning and smartworking good practices, as far as the administrative offices are concerned, in order to create virtual networks between institutions from different countries.
– improvement and rationalization of administrative management, facilities and student services, with particular attention to the transparency and fairness of credit recognition procedures, guarantees of equal opportunities and inclusion, and support for disadvantaged students.
– strengthening and extending the network of agreements beyond European borders, with particular attention to Far East Countries.
