TEAM: 39 Months of Future-Making, Mobility and Networking in Europe

39 months, 13 partner institutions, 11 countries, countless meetings, exchanges, mobilities, ideas and new connections – and now it is time to say: TEAM has officially come to an end.

On 14 September 2026, the Erasmus+ project Teacher Education Academy for Music (TEAM) reached the end of its official project period. One day later, partners came together online one last time to celebrate what had been achieved and to raise a digital glass to 39 months of collaboration across Europe.

But while the project has officially ended, there is still plenty to discover.

TEAM was developed as a pan-European research and development project bringing together school music education and initial and continuing music teacher education. Over the past three years, partners have explored how music education and music teacher education can respond to changing societies and future challenges – working on topics including future-making, sustainability, digitalisation, intercultural learning, international mobility and school internships, future-oriented competences, curriculum development and advocacy, as well as comparative perspectives on music education across Europe.

And now, much of this work has been brought together in one place. The TEAM website is currently entering its final stage of development and is already (and still becoming) a rich collection of the project’s work: Teaching Material for Future-Making, Student Mobility, The Mobility Designer, Publications, School Internships Abroad, Learning Outcomes for Music Teacher Education in Europe and Mapping of Music Education and Music Teacher Education in Europe. So this is a good moment to visit the website – and, ideally, to give yourself some time to really explore it.

There is considerably more to discover than can fit into a single newsletter contribution!

 

And if you are particularly interested in the academic work emerging from the project, make sure to visit the Publications section. It brings together the three TEAM volumes as well as journal articles and book chapters resulting from the project’s research and collaborations.

TEAM may have reached the end of its official project period, but its resources, publications, ideas and connections are there to be explored, shared and – hopefully – carried forward into new collaborations across European music education.
