The focus of the project is on classical music education. First part is a classical music competition for amateur (familiy/private) ensembles implemented by the DMG in Augsburg/DE in May 2012. The competition will be promoted by the applicant, the EMW, with the logistic support of 45 EMW member institutions in AT, DE, CH, CZ, FR, GR, IT, SK, UK. With the exception of Greece, all the EMW members are situated along the "European Mozart Ways" certified as a "Major Cultural Route" by the "Council of Europe".The competition will be held on EU level with international participation and dissemination in all the EMW countries. Therefore, the promotion will be implemented in steps: The EMW will inform online and by the press the target group (families interested in classical music, private ensembles) in all the EMW member countries. At least, 10 selected EMW-members from 4 or more countries will implement local cultural events to publicise the project on the regional and national level and offer logistic/financial support to prospective participants. As a framework program for these events, the Italian co-organiser will prepare an innovative stage play thematising Mozart's music education, work and life. This play will be performed at least 15 times in combination with local cultural events of the EMW members. The results of the competition will be disseminated by the press, on the radio, on CD/DVD and online (YouTube, Facebook©, EMW web portal). The 2nd part of the project points on classical music education for children/young musicians in general. The project will integrate new contacts among the responsible persons of the consortium and their networks (i.e. the member institutions of EMW and DMG, the international academic relations of GNC) to collect and support best practice in the field of classical music education and to promote these educational initiatives on a new online platform accessible through www.mozartways.com, the well-established web portal of the EMW.
