🎶 We matched four primary schools in #Liverpool with four partner schools in #Ukraine. And then, teamed up with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Culture Liverpool, and Resonate - The Music Education Hub for Liverpool to help the schools perform a song celebrating #Eurovision together. What happened next? 🎷 The pupils made new friends, got creative, and even wrote their own song! 🎷 They shared stories about their lives, bonding over football and pizza and Sonic the Hedgehog. 🎷 They performed a unique concert featuring 180 pupils, with 70,000+ pupils from across the world joining online. The initiative was part of our United by Music project, powered by the #SchoolsConnect programme that supports schools in the UK and worldwide to collaborate and share learning.
