   “parent and child with DS”

   Leaded by Alma and Gigi

 

The outcome of this training was that we where all impressed by the openness speaking in dialogue creates and very practical to use in parent groups or difficult discussions.

Tibor from Hungary was very thankful for this training because he wants to start a parent club and this training gives him the courage to do so.

We had a drink afterwards and Alma and Gigi gave us a very instructive day.

In the evening we met with the others on the Pollux for diner in good atmosphere.
