Orquestra Sem Fronteiras | Orchestra Without Borders

Orquestra Sem Fronteiras (Orchestra Without Borders) exists to support young musicians and reduce social and cultural inequalities through music.

Our mission is to reduce social and cultural inequalities through music.

Our vision is a fairer society where culture is accessible to everyone, regardless of their geographic location.

Our work

OSF supports young musicians’ talent in inland Portugal and Spain. We do this by fighting the abandonment of music teaching and rewarding academic excellence through concerts, music education, and grant giving.

We also exist to spread access to culture, and for this we work across dozens of localities in the countryside, offering free concerts, open rehearsals, and pedagogy & introduction to music for local people.

We champion values of cooperation and international integration, combining Portuguese and Spanish musicians side by side.

How to respond to this imbalance and what can be done to respond to the lack of teachers in schools were starting points for the 3rd episode of Consulta Pública (Antena 1) with Luís Catela Nunes as the main guest.

The effect of a specialized versus a general upper-secondary school curriculum on students’ performance and inequality

Countries differ in their academic upper-secondary school systems whereby some require their students to choose a specialization track from a set of areas – typically natural sciences, economic sciences, or humanities – and follow that specialization for the course of their upper secondary education years whereas, by contrast, others follow a general curriculum in which students are not required to follow a single specialization and thus, may receive a more general education. This research estimates the possible effects on students’ achievement of these institutional differences.
