Program

New observers, new participants, and teachers (of primary and junior secondary schools) are invited to arrive on Sunday evening, since Monday morning will be devoted to tutorials for them. Long-standing participants can arrive later, in order to attend on Monday afternoon, starting at 15.00.

Please note that this is a draft: the program will be mostly surely modified. However the starting/ending times and content of the pre-workshop on Monday will be kept as stable as possible.
