  Syksyllä 2018 tämä kurssi toteutettiin ensimmäisen kerran ja osallistujien toivomus oli, että olisi ollut hieno juttu kutsua omat esimiehet paikalle lähipäivälle, jolloin helpommin pystyisi edistämään sovittuja asioita omalla työpaikalla kun on oman esimiehen tuki. Keväällä 2021 joillakin osallistujilla oli mukana omat esimiehet ja he kokivat sen erittäin hyödylliseksi. Nyt tämä on mahdollista myös teidän osalta. (not translated)
