Teachers from the Conservatório de Loulé undertake Erasmus+ mobility at the Kuopion Konservatorio, Finland.

With temperatures reaching minus 20 degrees Celsius, CML-FR teachers Tiago Horta, João Mogo, and Vasco Ramalho were in Kuopio, Finland, from February 16 to 20.

With job shadowing as the main purpose of the mobility, the teachers were able to attend individual and group classes, as well as lead rehearsals, classes, and even concerts. Concurrently, the Chamber Music Festival organized by the Kuopion Konservatorio was taking place, which provided the CML-FR teachers with the opportunity to attend numerous concerts, mostly performed by students of the conservatory itself. The school's Erasmus team also provided a visit/hike to Kuopio's "frozen" forests and lakes, as well as Puijo Tower, an icon of the city.

Undoubtedly a fascinating and memorable experience!
