Participants' feedback
«For me as a long-time instructor who finally took the time to attend this event to come up with new ideas, it was completely worth it. I got the insights I was looking for. I have now more of an idea of what's out there, and I can expand my didactic skills with one, two, or more elements targeted or point my staff to specific aspects, methods, or even course offerings. Thank you very much – a very good offer.»
