Schools of Dialogue - training - 9-10.10.2020

6 years after the idea of introducing the Vredzamee School programme to Poland in the form of the Schools of Dialogue (an idea that came to the mind of Edward Skubisz, a Dutchman living in Poland), it was possible to organise a training course preparing teachers, trainers and coaches for the practical implementation of the programme.

On 9-10 October, Hans Scheltema, a psychologist and trainer representing the CED Groep institution which has been implementing the programme in the Netherlands for over 20 years, was a guest at Krzyżowa. He conducted this two-day training in English with the support of two great translators - Ms Magdalena Mańko-Kuzaj and Mr Jacek Mażulis.
