Creating conditions for the teaching of music in the CV, STP and ET

This activity will take place in the three partner countries (CV, STP and ET) and consists in the

allocation of existing spaces for the teaching of music, whether by purchase of support equipment, the

purchase of music instruments needed for quality learning, or carrying out minor works of adaptation.

A teaching program will also be defined for teaching music, once all conditions for the teaching of

music are created.

With this activity, a new service will be available for local populations with respect for local culture,

something currently unavailable, particularly for young people.

In Cape Verde, the infrastructure and the adaptation will be allocated by courtesy of the municipality of

Ribeira Grande to the Torre Babel Association, in which it will be installed the music school, with office

space, classrooms and recording studio.

In the case of Sao Tomé, the partner holds the Roçamundo infrastructure CACAU - House of Arts,

Creation, Environment and Utopias, educational/cultural transformation project, based on the firm

conviction that the culture plays a major role in socio-economic transformations . The infrastructure

hosts a School of Art, Workshop of Flavors (Bar / Restaurant), food stores, libraries and bookshops,

Nest Initiatives and Support for Entrepreneurship, Corporate Solidarity, Museum, Film Club, among

others. With this project, it will have reinforced the training component by adding the music school.

In the case of East Timor, the current arts school of Arte Moris, will have one more valence- the

training in music, complementing the training that the school currently has in the areas of photography

and fine arts

Oficina da Courela will be responsible for accompanying and guiding the partners before and during

the implementation of the actions. Oficina da Courela will also collaborate in the definition of the

contents for the training, and the establishment of protocols with other similar structures in the ACP

and European countries.

Once operating, through the partners, the teaching spaces for music will be able to expand their

activity internationally, by fostering cooperation with other European and ACP countries, organizing

joint activities, exchanges, residencies, training, etc. (multiplier effects). After the end of the project, all

these services may generate jobs and revenue for the partners.

It is expected to achieve as results the creation of conditions for teaching music in the CV, STP and

ET.

Outputs: 3 schools dedicated to music education operating in three ACP countries.
