THE ALBUM

The main focus of the daily creative exercises on these courses is the world of business communications.  But everyone is also asked to produce a personal piece of writing during the week.  In this album you can read some of the pieces that were written on – or immediately after – recent courses.  With thanks to the authors. Click on the names to read the writing. Click on the photos to see the slideshows.
