Some testimonies from participants
"On the professional level, I am much more confident and I have understood how important it is to be visible. I devote as much energy to this as possible."
"The help and challenges during the training allowed me to take steps in order to take charge of my life. I learnt to give priority to my own interests and to defend them all the way, while maintaining an honest and respectful attitude that corresponds to what I am on the deepest level."
