The two-month training series will be organised at the vocational education centre, as well as at the partner institutions. During the training series, people of all abilities will gain knowledge and skills in stained glass techniques, working with colours, developing business plans, drawing patterns and compositions, as well as growing and caring for plants, and making bouquets. 

As part of the programme, business skills development sessions will be held for participants in an inclusive environment, in line with the “training for all” approach taking into account different abilities.
