The awarded project ER96 “Promoting music hobby education and fostering cross border cooperation between the music schools in Pskov and Räpina” (Connecting Through Music) (Project) has been recently officially launched and will be implemented by two partners: Räpina Music School (Estonia) and Children’s Music School № 1 named N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov (Russia).

The project will contribute to improvement of cooperation between musical educational organisations in Pskov and Räpina, develop skills and promote music education as hobby and preparative education for further vocational or higher education.
