-Learners development: By collaborating with international experts, we managed to provide learners with a rich and diverse educational experience (workshops, performances, masterclasses) -Staff skillset development: As the organisation's staff accommodate a growing number of learners with fewer opportunities, it is crucial to enhance their own skills too (planning, hosting, organising, programming, production, intercultural competencies)
