Realisation
In April 2020 we had to make the painful decision that we have to cancel the Academy of this summer. We informed you then by email that we would like to offer you a place in 2021. Due to the current situation with COVID-19 we can unfortunately only decide on the implementation of the ACADEMY 2021 in March 2021. Nevertheless, we are already planning the details and would like to know from you who can and wants to be part of 2021 and which positions we have to fill. We are looking forward to your confirmations and hope to see you next summer.
