K-Arts
Joins the European Association of Conservatories, Building a Bridgehead for Expanding
Global Exchange
Beginning on 1 April 2022, first time in
Korea, the K-Arts became a member of the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC). Accordingly, the K-Arts takes another step
to represent an art school in Korea.
The AEC is an institution established in
Belgium in 1953 that aimed to play the role of a think tank that heightens the
value of higher education in music, encourages the exchange between the member
countries, and pursues the advancement and innovation of arts education. As of
2022, it has about 300 member institutions from more than 57 countries. As a
member, the K-Arts will run a trial of the European Online Application System
this year to meet the needs of increasing international students in K-Arts and
develop the various cooperative international exchange projects.
