International Strategy
Music is a cross-national language meant for creating co-operation and contacts beyond borders. Every year EMO hosts guests from many countries and acquaints them with Finnish music education. EMO regularly sends out delegates to different countries: the students perform and compete, and the teachers receive professional training.
