Innovative, and refreshing high-quality professional development retreats designed for academic and administrative staff within European University Alliances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our programme brings together personal, social, and future-oriented competences in one coherent and transformative learning experience. Through rhythm, movement, and contemplation, participants explore arts-based methods that support professional development, inclusive learning, and sustainable collaboration across physical, emotional, intellectual, and reflective dimensions.<\/p>\n

Designed as 2-, 3-, or 4-day intensive retreats, these courses provide a valuable opportunity to strengthen communication, cooperation, team cohesion,<\/strong> and intercultural understanding<\/strong> among staff members across institutions and alliances, while engaging with best practices and tools drawn from both the arts and C-level management.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The training course is the result of years of cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural <\/strong>\u00a0experiences, \u00a0and is a collaborative initiative between: Zofia Dzik<\/a> and Piotr Gospodarczyk<\/a><\/p>\n
