With the director of the early music department at the Royal Conservatory The Hague, Teunis van der Zwart, we discuss the challenges of making a conservatoire more diverse and inclusive safe space, as well as open to interdepartmental collaborations. Finally, we find out how the lives of students and teachers can be made safer in an institution, and look at the development of music conservatoires in general.
