Synchronous Concert
PROJEKTkompetenz.eu will supervise the synchronous concert preparation in five countries, will explain all the phases and technical requirements to the partners; will supervise the technical rehearsal and will ensure the successful synchronicity of the 5 events.

5 Live Concerts
There will be 5 live concerts that will take place simultaneously in UK, TK FI, RO and ES. In each concert a local school choir will sing 4 songs and this will be broadcast to the other 4 concert venues using web communication software. Thus the UK sings 1st and TK FI, RO and ES will see and hear the UK choir, then TK choir will sing and UK, FI. RO and ES with see and hear etc.
