Organisation profile

The European Association of Conservatoires (AEC), founded in 1953, is the leading voice for higher music education (HME) in Europe, representing a dynamic European cultural and educational network with over 300 institutions for professional music training in 55 countries (conservatoires, music academies and universities, Musikhochschulen, etc.).

Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about communication, music, the cultural sector and higher music education. The ideal candidate has excellent English writing skills, an interest in digital communication, and some experience with social media and visual content creation.

You will also contribute to the implementation of AEC’s communication strategy and to increasing the organisation’s visibility among partners, policymakers and the wider sector.

To strengthen that visibility, you might need to monitor relevant policy developments at European and national level (e.g. European Commission, European Parliament, EACEA, national governments and sector partners) and contribute to communication linked to advocacy and sector developments.

You will have the opportunity to work across communication, advocacy and events, take part in internal meetings and expert working groups, and — depending on the internship period — travel to AEC events to support communication and event-related activities, such as:

• International Relations Coordinators (IRC) Meeting
• AEC Congress
