The first four-days workshop was concluded in September 12. The next will start on September 14. Because of Ramadan the schedule provides longer brakes for prayer. It also gives an opportunity for the trainers to rest little bit and have rest from very high temperatures. Egiptian teachers, both Christians and Muslims, learn how to motivate students to work during lessons in the school, how to move their will and heart to reflect on the meaning of what they learn and experience.
