The 2008 DESG
GC Workshop was held from 16 to 19 January in a beautiful and
peaceful fishermen’s village in Catalonia, called Port de la Selva.
In a place where Man is
still in harmony with Nature, the participants tried to identify and
overcome transcultural barriers, through a series of
experiences/workshops.
The result was a
successful and enriching Meeting!
Congratulations to the
hosts: Dr Daniel Figuerola and his team.
