The EU CCP has been setup by the JA PreventNCD that is the largest Joint Action to date. In collaboration with JACARDI (Joint Action on cardiovascular disease) and WHO Europe.

The event was a very insightful experience into the Tavistock Method also in addition to a combination of sensory and engaging exercises in the beautiful landscape near Lake Como.

NWA learned a lot about diversity of cultural and organisational perceptions regarding group relations in the very global gathering of participants (hailing from China, Kazakhstan, Iran, UK, Denmark, Colombia, USA, Finland, Estonia, Russia, France, Australia, and Italy of course) – besides also sharing a lot of experiences across countries in terms of food, song, dance, and more.
