Virginia Lis, member of the Erasmus+ Team of CMUS Professional Vigo, visits the Central Ostrobothnia Conservatory in Kokkola (Finland), to prepare the mobility for the students of our school.

On 4th and 5th December, Virginia visited the Central Ostrobothnia Conservatory, in the city of Kokkola (named Karleby in Finnish), located in Western Finland, in the region of Central Ostrobothnia, in order to prepare the mobility that the selected students of the school will do at the end of March.

Among other members of the school, he met with the Erasmus+ Coordinator, Juhani Koivisto and other members of the faculty. Among the activities carried out, she attended clarinet lessons, the conservatory’s own Christmas Concert and was planning accommodation options for the students, as well as cultural activities of various kinds, to make the students’ stay more complete and enriching.

Virginia was delighted with the warm welcome from the staff of the Finnish conservatory and we are convinced that our students will enjoy a great experience in this mobility.

Here are some pictures of Virginia’s experience!
