WHAT IS RESPECT IN A RELATIONSHIP?
In this course, we will talk about the meaning of “Respect” in a relationship. The relationship could be with your parents, friends, colleagues, love partner, siblings, children. Although we love these people, sometimes we feel that we are not equally respected. Therefore, it is important to find solutions early. Each week we will concentrate our attention on one aspect. Participants will talk about some of their experiences, share ideas, and possibly will help with the relationships you have.
