Award for the cooperation project of the Mozarteum University and the University of Vechta
For 15 years, the Mozarteum University has been cooperating with the Tyrolean State Conservatory in the field of music school teacher training. In 2021/22, the offer in Innsbruck will be expanded to include the study profile "Jazz/Pop" in the Bachelor's program IGP and the Master's program "Making Music in Diversity Contexts".
Grenzklang is a project based in Tyrol and unique in the entire German-speaking region, which on the one hand offers children of Persian origin an opportunity to promote singing and music-making, while at the same time enabling a connection to their culture and being open to children of all nationalities as well as music of pluralistic cultures. On the other hand, Grenzklang is a practical training programme for future music teachers. This joint intercultural learning envisaged in the project ideally leads to an attitude of all participants, which is the basis for social progress and enables teaching and learning in diversity, equality and democracy. It thus functions as a model for further (music) pedagogical and intercultural offers. Synergy is an essential feature and Grenzklang contributes to strengthening the cultural identity of all participants.
