Our strategic partnership entitled „Digital Orchestra” was created by four organizations from three different countries – Poland, Estonia and Italy. Three of our organizations are musical universities and the fourth one is an association.We want to create open-source educational resources which will be used during Orchestral Studies in the educational process of instrumental musicians. We plan to prepare a common list of fragments of musical pieces on which both the educational process and the future recruitment to orchestra spots are based. Pieces form this list we will than record using a virtual orchestra and on that canvas we will generate various versions in which parts of certain instruments will be muted. This way for example, a violinist preparing his part will be able to stop doubling recordings of the piece but rather download a fitting version of the piece from the on-line website and play his own part with the generated file in which only the part of the violin is muted.We believe that this new model for individual practice will greatly increase the effectiveness of the orchestral studies courses, which will allow to go through more material (more various pieces of music). Our tool will also be a valuable resource while looking for employment. It will allow for an increase in the percentage of success of students and graduates who used the tool during studies in recruitment processes for spots in orchestras and philharmonics.Due to the fact that both the material and the methodology of teaching orchestral studies in musical universities across Europe is very similar, we see enormous potential for implementing our tool in a wide range of institutions. That is why we found the form of the strategic partnership so appealing.

<< Objectives >>The aim of E4TLI is to bridge the gap between Non-technological High Education stakeholders with that of Technologies 4.0.

The Project STAMP - Shared Training Activities for Music Professionals responds to a need voiced by professionals in the music sector for greater professional training based on the lifelong learning process. The aim was to develop free training for music professionals including tools, guidelines & online training on how to transform one's career with music. These tools were developed to strengthen entrepreneurial skills of mentors, trainers and other music professionals. The project’s specific target group was Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, where was discovered a strong need for networking opportunities and support in entrepreneurial thinking. Different aspects that are relevant for professionals in the music sector have been addressed.With the Webinar Series (Online Course) we presented ways to diversify one’s musical career and to know more on specific topics such as social entrepreneurship in music. And to also learn how to produce yourself Webinars with our guidelines “Webinars – an interactive tool”.A model inspired by the existing Young Event Management Programme (YEMP) was developed for festival managers to create a win-win situation for the management and festival volunteers. The Guidelines offer detailed descriptions on how to prepare a YEMP, how to organise the training weekend, followed by work based training and how to prepare your staff for the programme. Additionally we have produced an Event Management Toolbox filled with tips, tricks and helpful links. To adapt one’s communication strategy to one’s audiences in the cultural sector is a real challenge in a fast changing world. A strong communication strategy is needed to attract news audiences but to also keep your regular attendees. This is why we created an Online Handbook to help professionals to review their strategy, their communication channels and manage their different audiences. Another aspect that we looked at was how to further include disadvantaged youth in the society through music. With our Online Handbook, one can learn how to make the best of a multicultural environment through participation in music activities and get step by step tips on how to be more inclusive with disabled youth or minorities and on how transform disabilities into strengths through music.You want to start your international cooperation project but are not sure how? Through the Online Course on Intercultural Cooperation & Networking – developed with the results of our summer course – you will be guided through the process step by step, from developing your idea further, to finding project partners and to building your suitable financial business model. Additionally, a training database was produced to collect information in one place on the available training opportunities in Europe. This tool was developed to increase staff mobility and professional training across Europe.Different models for MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have been developed based on the project results that have been tested during the lifetime of the project. The Online Learning Platform STAMP offers all the learning material and Online Courses developed through the project. It can be used for self-learning or serves as material for teachers and trainers to instruct others. It will remain online after the life time of the project. All details on www.stamp-music.org

The objective of the project was to develop the Student Film Market app (SFM) (www.studentfilmmarket.com), built on a film market model for student films, which would provide a network for student filmmakers for collaboration, co-funding of projects, crowdfunding; provide means for creating contacts between international film industry representatives and the students; help the students to find opportunities for a traineeship or professional practice and in longer terms help them enter the labor market, with hopes that the contacts formed between film students in the Student Film Market app would later merge into professional collaboration and result in future international co-productions. The Student Film Market was launched at A-category Film Festival – Black Nights Film Festival’s (BNFF) sub-festival PÖFF Shorts in Tallinn, Estonia in 2019. The Student Film Market app was developed in partnership with 4 universities (that have film curricula or curricula closely connected with film), 1 international film festival organization, and 1 international association of film schools (with 170+ member schools), representing 4 countries - Estonia, Bulgaria, France, Portugal.Our project tackled issues specific to film education:•Film schools are seldom able to provide all needed specialties for producing and distributing films. •Film school graduates (who are otherwise ready to go into production with their film projects) lack contacts with the professional film industry, especially on the international level.•The existing international film markets (that provide co-production and funding for professional filmmakers) are designed for film professionals only. The aim of the project was to provide film students the means for presenting their films (portfolio), networking with peers on an international level, establishing contacts with international film industry representatives, finding funding and co-production opportunities.

This project answers the need to develop collaborative tools, share knowledge and transfer pedagogical innovation in the very specific field of music theory in higher music education institutions throughout Europe by working towards a pedagogical rapprochement. These courses are often the object of pedagogical reflections but there’s a lack of a centralised source and framework to support this reflection by means of cross-disciplinary study at European and international level. A certain pedagogical adaptability must lead teachers to reopen their pedagogical perspective and to teach their students using other methodologies or at least share them. The project intends to tackle the question of the transfer of practices and methodologies between higher music education institutions (HMEI), in particular for music theory courses. Indeed, there is a significant wealth of educational practices from one country to another in this sector, especially in terms of harmonic musical notation and analysis. Nevertheless, HMEI are facing the nonexistence of a European network for pedagogical staff in theoretical subjects such as harmony, musical analysis, ear training, solfeggio, specific to the realities and practices of higher arts schools. University networks exists reserved for university researchers (EUROMAC) while the teachers of theoretical subjects in European HMEI are generally not PhD and even less musicologists. They studied an instrument, or specialized in subjects such as counterpoint, fugue or composition. Musicologists do not practice music and are even for the most part non-instrumentalists. These HMEI, however, have an increased need to develop their internationalisation and therefore to develop a network between teachers to look for other sources and practices and update their own courses content or develop new music theory subjects in their institution.The project, targeting music theory departments' community (institutions, teachers, students and professionals) in HMEI's will pursue the following objectives:- Collect, analyse, share, compare and transfer the pedagogical practices of the music theory courses among HMEI in Europe- Create a meeting and exchange room for teachers of these disciplines in order to encourage the confrontation of practices and the development of joint tools- Create a reference platform for music theory lessons- Maintain and develop the place of music theory courses in the curricula of the various higher education institutions concerned- Maintain, develop, modernise, update and promote music theory courses and their curricula- Develop a network of teachers of theory courses in musical fields- Foster and strengthen the links between higher education institutions, research and professionals musicians in the field of music theory in Europe - Foster and strengthen the internationalisation of higher music education institutionsAs a partnership we aim to develop in this project several outputs and activities to reach results in line with the project’s objectives. We plan to particularly work on innovation in the area of music theory by:-Develop an online exchange platform on harmony and music analysis (IO1)-Develop a dynamic EU bibliography (IO2)-Develop a catalogue of new methodologies and practices (IO3)-Develop a Multi Language terminology dictionary in music theory (IO4)-Organise 1 training for staff and 1 intensive programme for students-Organise 1 dissemination conference and 1 final conference gathering at least 200 participants coming from HMEI across Europe and beyond-Foster transfer of new methodologies and practices into music theory courses-Strengthening the internationalisation of each participating institutionsThe project intends to have a wide impact mainly at national and European level by giving the higher education institutions in Europe providing music theory courses online tools to help the music theory community to find resources, new methodologies and courses content to reinforce the skills of the teaching staff and of the students.Results of the project will be available for free in digital format and integrated into the platform (IO1), to ensure their visibility and a wide exploitation by the institutions organising music theory courses.
