Music academies set an example against abuse of power

After the Rectors' Conference of Universities of Music (RKM) unanimously adopted a position paper on dealing with abuse of power at German universities of music in May 2024 and developed recommendations for action based on this, all 24 universities will take an important step towards implementation together on November 27, 2025 and send a clear signal against discrimination and abuse of power with a nationwide day of action.

Under the joint motto "KUNST. POWER. MENSCHLICHKEIT.", there will be events, campaigns and spaces for reflection at all 24 state music universities - individually designed and supported by a common attitude.

"We will do everything we can to create an environment at German music universities that is characterized by respect, trust, tolerance and humanity," says Prof. Christian Fischer, Chairman of the RKM. With this day of action, the Rectors' Conference of German Music Universities is sending a publicly visible signal for an open debate on power relations, prevention and structural change - both internally and externally.

To the program of the HfMT.
