Comments from last year’s participants:
“The organization as such was excellent, each minute was planned and there was not a moment that was boring.”
“The international staff week was very well organized. I found the programme very well balanced between workshops, in-depth discussions, time for networking, cultural aspects, drinks and a dinner. The workshops and sessions were also very interactive, with assignments, quizzes and presentations. Very well done!”
“I loved all of it and felt very welcome.”
