Erasmus+

YMTE is actively engaged in European cooperation through its Erasmus+ projects, which play a key role in advancing the organisation’s mission.

The current Erasmus+ KA210 project (2024–2026) focuses on strengthening the connection between pre-college music education and higher music education.

Objectives

• Develop a shared European reference framework for pre-college music education
• Define key competences, learning outcomes, and quality standards
• Improve alignment and transition between educational levels

Activities and Approach

The project brings together YMTE, partner organisations, and member institutions in a collaborative research effort. Through surveys, mapping exercises, and analysis, it explores the diversity of educational systems across Europe.

Expected Outcomes

• A comprehensive report on pre-college music education in Europe
• Updated competence frameworks aligned with higher education requirements
• Practical guidelines for curriculum development and policy

By addressing gaps between educational stages, the project contributes to a more coherent and effective pathway for young musical talents.
