Participants will become more self-aware through active participation in the planed activities, interactions with colleagues and reflection sessions. They will build confidence and competence while working in cultural and age diverse group, thus develop further skills of oral and written self-expression through English. Critical thinking will be raised then engaging in group discussions. The program of 'Europe Daily' is designed to stimulate creative and innovative thinking while empathizing and relating to others.
