In February and March, Iscte  University Institute of Lisbon will be organising a series of workshops – “Slow Stages” –, with the aim of promoting emotional management and self-knowledge through dramatic expression, by exploring different areas, such as problem-solving, concentration and memory, study methods and others.

These workshops will be led by Ema Oliveira and are aimed at all members of the Iscte community. Participants will have the opportunity to create a space for relaxation and creativity with exercises in individual connection, improvisation and reflection.
