Rokus Learning Experiences

It happens sometime that people just meets and starts to exchange. These are moments of pure energy, of uncontaminated sharing.
I met Rokus during a meeting hosted in my city in autumn 2013. Since then, we started to exchange and plan activities with clear transparence and forwarding will.
Rokus learning experiences are about inspiring mental health professionals in 7 days, looking for the cradle of strength, recovery and experience expertise. The group travels, exchanges and meets experts, teachers, rehabilitation coaches, managers, team leaders and department employees. Each person has their own expectations, but one thing binds all together: curiosity about practices.
An inspiring video catch and pass all the magic of Rokus works:

The Learning Experience will come to north west Italy, in early June 2014. The programme and the agenda will soon be published.
