European Dimension

In this course we work in a protective space created by agreeing on common values like self-determination, mindfulness and confidentiality. Intercultural competences is promoted by different languages who are spoken in the workshop space and the team with international history. Dance is applicated as a non-verbal communication, that's why every day there are some hours without verbal communication to promote more consciousness for inner realities.
