Monday 16 October - Malonne - 2pm

Let's go for an animated walk in the forest! This workshop is aimed at teachers, guides and leaders. Participants experience the activity as animated people.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to re-use the tools in their own leadership, guidance and teaching activities.
