RMC sees an active diversity policy as a prerequisite for fulfilling its vision and strategy. RMC’s board has made it a strategic objective for RMC to "work towards a more diverse and healthy world of music." At the same time, the conservatory, along with other higher artistic educational institutions under the Danish Ministry of Culture, has developed a charter for diversity. The conservatory’s diversity policy is rooted in its strategy and the shared charter for diversity among the arts schools.
RMC actively works to increase diversity among people and experiences, both within the conservatory and in the broader arts and cultural field. This involves a focused effort to ensure equal access and opportunities and is based on the premise that diversity represents a creative and quali-tative potential for RMC as an arts school. Diversity also means multiplicity or variety and is based on the understanding that individuals possess varied identity markers and are shaped by their unique backgrounds and experiences. Increasing diversity involves increasing focus on people, perspectives, and experiences that are and have been underrepresented in the artistic field. This entails actively ad-dressing how factors such as gender identity, ethnicity, economic, social, and cultural conditions, geographical background, sexual orientation, and individual psychological and physical conditions may influence admission to our programmes and participation in our artistic practices.
RMC plays an active role in shaping the future of arts and culture. Increasing diversity among people and experiences in the arts enriches and develops the overall artistic and cultural landscape, bringing a far wider variety of artistic expressions and voices. Furthermore, increased diversity among students, educators, staff, and curricula can be a resource and creative potential for RMC, enhancing both the quality and relevance of its programmes.
