Participation in the online teaching event in April is only possible on the computer and in a quiet disturbance-free working environment (please not via cell phone - for the group processes it is necessary to be able to see all participants in the gallery view). You will need a stable internet connection and active audio and video (mic, webcam). The seminar is highly interactive and depends on your participation.

When planning your appointment, please take into account that due to the group-dynamic way of working, a constant presence during working hours is necessary!
