This year, the free flow takes us for a 2-day retreat to the fantastic and historical Atelierhäuser am Waldrand.
The purpose for the 'free flow' is for mentors and students to spend time together in an alternative mode than the usual school setting.
In a different setting and with different tools, they discuss together interests and topics ranging from the upcoming thesis to life in general.
This is also a special exchange moment for bonding.
