This choral tour in Alsace started with a unique educational experience to all the choir members especially the young choristers of the Choir. On 8th December, all the 25 choirs convened in the building of the EU Parliament in Strasbourg for an interactive programme among the members of all the choirs. The choir members were split up into 6 workshops which discussed aspects of Education withing an EU context. In the meantime, the Choir directors as well as the choir officers attended a round table discussion about how music can increase the integration among the EU member states. Mro. John Galea made an intervention about the Maltese choral life which was very well received by those present.

After lunch everyone convened in the Hemicycle of the EU parliament itself, where each Choir took centre stage in turns and presented itself together with a short piece of music. Hilda Galea made a short presentation of the Choir followed by Ejjew La ddumux by the Chorus Urbanus. Later on, the reports of the 6 workshops were read out by a rapporteur from each group and the audience present voted for each resolution, the same system used by the Members of European Parliament. A member of the Chorus Urbanus, Charlene Debrincat, was rapporteur of one of the workshops, whereas other members of the Chorus Urbanus conducted the individual workshops.

This unique experience at the EU Parliament offered this rare opportunity to the choir members to experience life at the EU Parliament. It also offered the opportunity to the Choir's management to meet and speak to other Choirs and exchange experiences with choristers coming from different cultures and musical traditions.
