Erasmus+ Weekend in the Ben van der Eng Dojo

This weekend we received about 30 guests; our dear friends from Romania, Slovenia and Sweden honoured us with a visit. This was part of the Erasmus+ Judo4ID project and they came to show us what they learned about teaching judo to people with disabilities. All in all we had a great weekend, good food and lots of fun!
