“The combination of learning, sharing and having fun is
very good.”
“I expected to get inspiration and to get new knowledge
and to get to know more people, and so I did! I learned
more than I had the ability to expect.”
“Meeting practitioners from other European countries and
being able to take strength from this. All the separate
events were also very stimulating.”
