You can read this week’s presentation below…

This meeting combines sessions of lesson presentations with children (live or recent videos) followed by practical experimentation with the trainees, and workshops for personal improvement in various fields (see list below).

The days are interspersed with musical moments and are rounded off by three lectures, the IWF General Assembly, and a concert.
A round table discussion on the themes discussed during the week will close the meeting.

Thus, this International Meeting is aimed at people wishing to discover the pedagogical progression of Edgar Willems, as well as at students in the process of training for the Willems® Diploma and at people who have already obtained the Diploma, for their further development.
