  • Resourcefulness and adaptability are developed
  • Numerous skills (so-called "soft-skills") are developed, such as presentation skills, communication skills, etc.
  • Organizational skills and teamwork are developed
  • A higher level of self-confidence is achieved in children
  • An individual approach allows the discovery of personal talents
  • Artistic talents and abilities are developed in all children
  • Better coordination of the left and right hemispheres of the brain is achieved, and therefore better personal balance in life
