"I've attended several leadership courses and modules, but I've often missed the focus on leadership skills. It's incredibly useful to be part of this course and it gives me a lot I can use in my leadership role. I recommend other cultural organisations to take Seema's diversity management course."
Tor Egil Value Andersen, Principal at Kristiansand Culture School
