“What was the Temporary Retail Design course for me? Oxygen! Oxygen for the brain that has begun to work the mind again; the mind that has begun to make relationships between the various topics covered; relationships that have allowed to rekindle the imagination; imagination that has given new life to the passion for this profession! Also interesting is the attempt to bridge that the course tries to connect between school and profession. Definitely a good starting point for future closer links between course and work !
