This is an invitation for all educators who want to develop their educational skills for self-employment and entrepreneurial careers to participate in European Creative Futures’ seminar: Education for Music Entrepreneurship.

The seminar is hosted by the Norwegian Academy of Music / CEMPE – Centre of Excellence in Music Performance Education, Oslo, and will be held on the 25th – 26th of January 2018.
