We are proud of our association and of the way it cares about us. By Non Formal Education method we try to involve the biggest number of people in our activities, as most of you could see at school, open ourselves to everyone without any difference, and subsequently move towards activities and collaborations paths. of course we are continually involved in the discovery of our countries,therefore in our free time we have many activities together to break down the cultural walls that could potentially divide us and build a great team above the linguistic and habits’ differences. because the important thing to have, before good working ambent and sinergy is to be friends who trust each other.
