The training course is not limited to the couple of days the participants spend together but starts before the actual encounter. Participants should therefore be well aware that they will be actively involved from the very beginning. The trainers’ team (Denis Morel, Jo Claeys and Simona Molari) coming from different Salto Network Training pools (ToM, Youth Pass, Tic Tac, BTM) use their experience on the different fields they are active in.
