The Artist as Teacher course is designed to offer teachers from a range of disciplines and career stages stimulating learning experiences to strengthen their knowledge and skills in educating conservatoire students. It is one of the key initiatives within IN.TUNE's activities for Capacity building and innovation in learning & teaching (Work Package 5), supporting the professional development of staff across the alliance through targeted continuing education opportunities.

Teachers from the Sibelius Academy Helsinki offered their insights and impressions after taking the course. 

Lucie Lou Camps is a student representative on the  IN.TUNE Governing Board and a member of the Student Council. It's part of her job to discuss what happens in IN.TUNE and give the student perspective on relevant topics. As head of the Student Committee (SUT) at the Norwegian Academy of Music, Lucie feels like many of her tasks overlap. Here, she shares her thoughts on the new educational formats, the current call for student-led projects and IN. TUNE's current status.

The IN.TUNE Alliance has launched a new call for student-led project proposals to support collaboration and mobility across its partner institutions, giving students a chance to make an impact in their student community — and beyond.

Sixteen innovative interdisciplinary educational formats have been selected by the Work Package 3 Committee, responsible for developing a joint educational provision in the Alliance, following the open Call for Proposals issued in autumn 2024. Over the next two and a half years, these formats will be developed, tested, and implemented through deep transnational cooperation, providing students with flexible learning opportunities and alternative pathways to education. The selection includes eight joint online courses, four blended intensive programmes (BIPs), two joint modules, and two joint programmes.

At IN.TUNE, students are more than participants - they are key voices in shaping the alliance. Their perspectives, ideas, and experiences are embedded at every level, ensuring that the initiatives and direction of IN.TUNE truly reflect their needs and aspirations. From governance to innovative educational approaches, here are some examples of how students are actively crafting the future of IN.TUNE and music & arts higher education.

The IN.TUNE European University Alliance stands in unwavering solidarity with the students and academic community of the University of Arts in Belgrade, one of the IN.TUNE Alliance partners. Over the past three months, we have closely monitored the developments at the University of Arts in Belgrade, its four faculties and other universities across Serbia.

The IN.TUNE Alliance, including the rectors, presidents of partner universities, alliance leadership, and the IN.TUNE Student Council, expresses deep concern while offering strong and unequivocal support for the students in Serbia and their legitimate demands.
