Germany @ CIT Week
When I see this amazingly beautiful quilt I think how perfectly it represents what CIT Week is to me: a big and colourful family reunion. People come from far away, are happy to see each other after a long time, and everyone brings something from home to share with everyone else. — Steffi, Germany

Slovakia @ CIT Week
Balance, drop, smile, eyes level – these were the most used words during the 1st day of CIT week. 573 participants from around the world gathered to work together not only on 108 movements.
