Shnyriova received the second prize at the VI International competition Alhambra para Jóvenes (Valencia); K. Stetsenko – 2nd prize at the Contest of String Instru- ments (Vigo). This year our list of Erasmus+ partners has been replenished by Conservatorio Su- perior de Musica Manuel Castillo Sevilla.

Academic mobility with Spanish high- er education institutions helps in addressing many issues.

I am convinced that cooperation with foreign educational institutions will contin- 1 ue and will be more beneficial for the de- velopment of art both in Ukraine and Spain.
