Venue: Passage of Dialogue (Przejście Dialogu)
ul. Świdnicka 19, Wrocław

A school class is a collection of individuals with different characters and temperaments, and a variety of needs and views. Teamwork skills become essential – along with the experience that diversity is a resource that not only helps us tackle any difficulty, but also opens up many different ways forward. Teamwork means attentiveness and respect […]
