                                  of storytelling and friendliness towards students became the main line of the meeting.

                                  were amazing, interesting and informative. The manner of narration and sincerity was the
                                  main line of Mr. Busi’s presentation. That created a friendly and openness of environment
                                  which ended with a spontaneous photo session.”
