CULTURAL SPEEDY NETWORK
Vision
The intervention aim is to get insight of organizers and trainers of CIN forum whose impressions and insights about CIN are not available or visible.
Method and technique

– Using specific questions regarding the organization of the forum
– Time speeding techniques
– Stationery
Aim
To get an insight of the organization of CIN forum, thus opening questions that remain unanswered to forum participants, as well as making a critique of the tight working tempo.
