We are a strategic partnership of professional organisations and education providers in the field of live sound engineering, co-funded by the ERASMUS+ programme of the European Union.
Together we are working to develop a comprehensive curriculum for a trans-national qualification of live sound engineers on Level 5 of the European Qualification Framework.
On July 18 and 19, the final meeting of the ESSENCE team took place in the form of a Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) in Cologne at the SAE. At this meeting, the project partners summarized and evaluated the results of the EU-funded project, which has been running since November 2021.
An intense final sprint is coming to an end, and we will need one final steering group meeting before the project report can be compiled. This is the final steering meeting of the ESSENCE project.
