Workshops at Kyclos

All skills building activities in Kyclos are designed:

- To be done in an experiential way and the know-how to be transmitted from the advanced to the beginners
- To be bottom up and participatory: Kyclos participants are the ones driving the workshop initiation and implementation
- To not only develop the knowledge and the technical skills but also to achieve personal development, social inclusion and belonging (creation of a social network, relationships of trust and a security framework)
- To be inclusive to the cultural elements of the participants

Through this methodology, a smoothest and more equal social intercultural bilateral integration is achieved.
