We hope that this supportive environment, without the pressure to produce, will aid creativity, experimentation and the development of new ideas. KORDON, for its part, deals with communication and supports the resident with the necessary help during the residency. KORDON offers all creative practitioners and researches a change of pace and the space to create.
