This strategic partnership aims to strengthen choral music and cultural associationism in Portugal, centred around the COROS.PT technological platform.

The protocol establishes a framework for mutual cooperation to promote cultural cohesion and participation.

Key Pillars of the Collaboration:

  • Promotion and Visibility: Increasing platform awareness among CPCCRD’s member structures and highlighting the Confederation’s role within the choral community.
  • Data Qualification: Cooperation in identifying, updating, and validating information regarding choral groups linked to the associative movement.
  • Sector Support: Joint identification of funding opportunities and support for national or international grant applications.
  • Cultural Dynamics: Promotion of festivals, meetings, and projects relevant to the choral sector.

The agreement, signed by the leadership of both organisations, will have an initial duration of two years. Ideias do Levante, as the creator and promoter of the COROS.PT project ensures technological maintenance and free access to the platform, reaffirming its commitment to enhancing Portuguese musical culture.
