Summary of bilateral results

The partner’s contribution was mainly organisational and logistical. Within the project the partner provided concert and rehearsal halls, invited audience, advertised the project, promoted their country and its culture, provided substantive contribution at the stage of planning, consulted the ideas and activities within the project. The partner also took part in the activities within the project, especially concerts. There were also meetings for students and the staff, which allowed both groups to exchange experiences and broaden their knowledge about educational systems, musical experiences and cultures. The whole project was a continuation of Norway/Iceland project that was implemented in 2010 and its purpose was to maintain contacts, as well as start new ones and broaden the cooperation.
