Materials

In the frame of ODDA, we have two approaches: the more theoretical approach, to have a better understanding of the background of our acting, and a practical one where we develop, test and evaluate methods to foster the communication and cooperation of people from different countries who try to overcome languages barriers and to better get to know each other.
