    Musical education

    I studied at Puolalanmäki Upper Secondary School for three years and graduated in 2018. It’s one of the upper secondary schools in Turku, which is a city on the southwest coast of Finland. The main reason I wanted to apply to Puolalanmäki was that the school offers a great music-oriented programme. The programme also ended up being the reason why I was motivated to go to school every day. Alongside normal subjects I had a lot of music courses, for example, music history, theory, singing lessons and classes on how to express yourself with music and how to get better at performing songs. I was one of the singers in our school’s choir, which consisted of more than 50 students. In my first year, our choir went to Hungary for a week to visit a local school choir. We performed in many places and stayed in the homes of the Hungarian students’ families. My favourite concert we ever did with the choir was when we performed for the families of the Hungarian students. We got a standing ovation, and I still remember vividly the happiness and fellowship we felt like a choir. Every other year before Christmas, the music programme puts together a big show called Valon Aika (Time of the light) in Turku’s Ice Hall. The show consists of all the students of the music programmes in primary school, junior high school and upper secondary school. The stage is filled with a big orchestra and singers aged from 7 to 18. There are also a lot of dancers and some famous Finnish singers. Last spring we did a musical of Romeo and Juliet. We made the costumes, script and songs by ourselves. That was one of my favourite experiences in Puolalanmäki Upper Secondary School. The three years were hard and tiring, and I was very happy to leave when I graduated. Even though the school made me very stressed, I’m happy that I went there because I learned a lot, especially about music. Project co-financed by ERASMUS+.

    Funchal Versus Boom: Cities of the World

    As Funchal lives in the world of yesterday, Boom lives in the world of tomorrow. As Boom and Funchal are quite different in infrastructure and style, they are both considered to be world cities by size, recognisability and status. They both host a great number of people as Funchal is a touristic hub under the Madeiran flag, and so does the annual gathering of people in the city of Boom for the biggest music festival in the world, Tomorrowland. Both are host to a great variety of people from all over the world. As a huge portion of Madeiran tourists is German, English or American; Boom has visitors from all corners of Europe, as well as people from all over the world. Both are positioned near water or waterways, as Funchal is next to the Atlantic Ocean and my home city of Boom is next to the local waterway called Ruppel. Both have local sports clubs like a tennis club, football fields and trails to run, even though a lot of the football fields and infrastructures in Funchal are connected to the local football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, Boom is connected to internationalism as the local hockey fields were used in 2012 to host the international hockey championships. Both cities house different people from different cultures, you’ve got people from England, Denmark, Germany, Russia, Venezuela and obviously Portugal living in Funchal. In Boom the ethnicities are mainly Belgian, Moroccan, Turkish, Polish as well as refugees from eastern Europe and the Middle East. We do notice a big difference in connectivity with other great cities, as Funchal is an isolated city on the island of Madeira, only being flanked by other coastal cities and therefore not in direct contact with cities the likes and size of Lisbon, Porto, and Faro. In Boom, it couldn’t be more on the contrary as the city has a great direct line to major Belgian cities like Mechelen, Antwerpen and the capital Brussels. The latter two provide job opportunities for the locals as they are both within a 30 minute travel time, however, travel times may elongate due to traffic jams and overloads. Both offer a big list of cultural activities, for Funchal, which includes hikes, local Levada walks, ocean swimming, snorkelling, and city tours (providing information about the history of the city dating back to its discovery back in 1420). In addition to this, both have a wide range of cuisines. In my Belgian city, we have a local park and a recreational centre named “de Schorre”, which annually holds the humongous international music festival Tomorrowland. Also, the local dam provides a splendid view of the surroundings and gives you the opportunity to have a peaceful walk. Project co-financed by Erasmus +.
