ORTE does not aim to simply give young people “answers.”
Instead, it aims to cultivate the ability to:
・ask questions,
・feel deeply,
・think independently,
・understand others,
・and connect those experiences to the world around them.
ORTE is not simply an overseas study tour or a music experience programme.
It is an international cultural education programme designed to cultivate cultural understanding, sensitivity, creativity, and independent thinking through music. Here it explains how ORTE differs from conventional music education and overseas experience programmes.
