“The Residential Week was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. It was incredibly well organized and I loved getting to know my colleagues, who I already consider my friends. The connections we made have really helped during the distance learning because, having met everyone, it genuinely feels like we’re together in the online sessions.”
