Specific feature of the training is that in certain moment it will consist of two parallel groups in one TC: Exploring Daily to Day Culture and Activities using the Local environment. Participants will be able to experience Captain Culture from any of the two, but with the shared sessions at the end of every working day; sharing, evaluating, discussing and integrating experiences of both groups into common learning experience.
