From March 14 to 16, 2023, the second TPM was held in the framework of the Erasmus+ strategic partnership "Love music, love yourself!".The TPM activities were attended by teachers from each partner school, the implementation team of the visited association also participated in the TPM. The activities began with the arrival of the participants to the host school where the group of traditional dances together with the drum group greeted the guests. Students performed a choreography with basketballs accompanied by contemporary music. The Spanish educational system and teaching methods were presented. In the welcome show, the students of the host school presented music and folk dances representative of Felanitx. The dance is "Els Cavallets" that the students feel very much their own and they like to teach and share with visitors. In this way, it contributed to improving the students' collaboration skills, acceptance, and increased self-esteem. Hosts prepared food workshop and made a "pamboliada" to show what is the most typical dish that we have and that we wanted to share with all the members. This activity is widely accepted as it represents an act of bonding. We had a visit from the autonomous community's television station, which made a news item to present to the news so that the entire autonomous community knew about our project.A project coordination meeting was held where the participants created curriculum for the following actions and the modifications that had to be made were evaluated. The teachers of the host school and the members met in the gym to hold a music therapy workshop presented by Valentin Moreda who is a Music Therapist. In this workshop, activities were carried out to relate the body with the mind helped by different melodies. Afterwards, a joint meal was held with the entire educational team of the visited school to demonstrate the good level of acceptance and show hospitality to the visiting teachers. The monastery of Sant Salvador was visited where a light and sound show was enjoyed in tune with the theme of the project. The Town Hall was visited with the presence of the mayor where we disseminated the project with the subsequent publication on the town hall's social networks. A school with a differentiated music curriculum was visited (Simó Ballester). This visit enriched the participant's music pedagogical knowledge. With the visit to Lake Martell it was possible to experience the particular acoustics that occur in a natural cave. The visit to Valldemossa was very enriching to learn about Frederic Chopin's stay in Mallorca and listen to the pieces that he composed on the island. The evaluation of the activities was carried out by applying the Google Forms questionnaire to the participating teachers and students. The participants improved their communication skills, cooperation and teamwork, learned about the peculiarities of Felanitx folk music and dance, and analyzed important aspects related to education.The dissemination of the activities was carried out during the visit to the Town Hall and the visit of the regional television. The activities were popularized among students, teachers, parents and the local community by sharing photos and videos on the school website and at different information meetings.
