Notes on the procedure for face-to-face workshops
Our workshops are held in compliance with the current hygiene concept of Leipzig University and the Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance. According to that, the 3G rule will be adhered to in order to protect you, our trainers and staff from infection with the corona virus.
