I can definitely recommend the workshop led by Joanna Tabaka – especially because of her strong subject-matter expertise, her ability to engage every participant, interesting examples, and the inspiration she provides for taking action within one's own community. After the workshop, there were many positive comments and words of thanks regarding the event, which proves that the cultural sector needs education in the area in which Joanna Tabaka is an expert. The facilitator herself possesses strong communication, educational, and motivational skills.
