Project Partners

The Platform Vielfalt team worked together with various project partners – universities, educational initiatives, and associations. All the project partners contributed their expertise to the project in their respective fields. Our exchange with them resulted in important networking systems and synergies. 

Department of Music Education at the Mozarteum University Salzburg

The Department of Music Education introduces students to their future work as teachers in various types of schools. The department focuses on openness and creativity in dealing with diverse forms of musical expression, research, developing new forms of media mediation as well as cooperating with cultural institutions in the Salzburg area and promoting international exchange.

Through two Platform Vielfalt sub-projects on the topics First-Generation Students and Students as Multipliers for Pupils, colleagues from the music education department had important experiences and compiled results for achieving project goals.
