I've learned so many things throughout this workshop in Thessaloniki.
Not only about music, also the film industry and how communication affects their works.
I believe those are not something I can learn from books or the internet so I'm very happy to learn about them in person.

very much, it was very
useful to learn new techniques, to meet and learn from your experiences
