Organising workshops

- All workshops last 3 hours (9am–12pm or 2pm–5pm) and consist of a mix of hands-on activities followed by discussions (covering the experience, key concepts and ideas, as well as an introduction and adaptation to different contexts).

- Each workshop is held separately, or they are all grouped together over a weekend, in which case they form a ‘PETIT PASSE’.

The content of the workshops is prepared in advance

and adjusted according to circumstances and priorities
