The conference dealt with articulation in different aspects.

Articulation of policy developments

Participants have been informed during Friday afternoon session on the latest (and future) European and international developments in higher education, as well as on the work of both working groups. Participants have been encouraged to link the music sectoral approach to the European and international context (and/or vice-versa) and to reflect on the relevance and benefits of such a discipline-specific approach to the future of the Bologna process.

Articulation of a curriculum

During the workshops taking place on Saturday, participants have been encouraged to combine the approaches and elements developed by the AEC until now (cycle-level descriptors, learning outcomes, handbook on assessment procedures, programme evaluation criteria). Participants have been brought step by step to (re-) designing and developing a music curriculum, from its description in terms of learning outcomes until its external quality assurance review.
