Welcome to ESTA Portugal's youtube channel!
Channel: ESTA Portugal
Date: 2020-04-20

From now on, this will be the channel of Porto 2020 ESTA International Conference.
Today it was supposed to be the last day of our meeting. According to our dreams, today we would be embraced in Porto to celebrate 5 fantastic days and to reflect on the immensity of shared knowledge and experience.
Unfortunately,  this is not the case, we are not gathered in Porto, we are not sailing behind the bridges enjoying the landscape and a glass of wine. No, we are still confined to our homes. Even we, the conference organizing committee, living so near,  we are working remotely, without being able to meet. In fact, in the current situation, the few kilometers that separate us here doesn’t make any difference from those that separate all of us. Presenters, participants, sponsors and exhibitors from all over the world are together in thoughts, in goals, love of music and teaching, and at our homes we  can meet at the distance of just one click. This will be our meeting point.
We are very grateful for your interest and generosity. Since the starting point we felt your support and Until the beginning of the corona virus pandemic we already had so many registrations.
Nobody knows what will happen next, we do not know yet if it will be possible this year to join all of us in Porto, but what we know is that we do not want to give up. For the good of music and teaching, we want to keep the strength of the group formed for ESTA Porto 2020. Whatever the world will be after the crisis we are sure that together, the ESTA family can help to make it better.
In this way, we decided to inaugurate this youtube channel and   we will start to share with you, regularly, small teaser videos made by the presenters. It’s a good way to know them better as well as their proposed contents.
I must thank the wonderful work made by the organizing team Clarissa Foletto, Luzia Lapo, António Filipe, Emília Alves, Hazel Veitch, Adélia Certo, Ana Alves and Mariana Morais.
Most specially I thank the valuable contribution of our sponsors Thomasthik and Pirastro that did not give up and are still supporting  our conference.
Keep safe and follow us here.
