Charlemagne Prize for Youth 2022
In 2022, the first prize went to the project “Orquestra Sem Fronteiras” (“Orchestra Without Borders”) from Portugal, which promotes cross-border cooperation between Portugal and Spain by harnessing the musical talents of the two countries. The ultimate goal is the mitigation of social and cultural inequalities.
