The Latin American Chapter of the NSRG organized teaching courses in Lima, Peru, and Mendoza, Argentina, in October. According to the NSRG teaching concept to offer a high level of theoretical knowledge and sufficient practical skills, both two-day courses included lectures and at least 50 percent practical training in small groups of no more than seven participants.

The strictly limited number of participants allowed individual mentoring and exchange among all participants and proved functional. At the closing ceremony when the local course directors Prof. Ana Valentia, Dra. Sylvia Cocorullo and Prof. Manfred Kaps as NSRG delegate delivered the participation certificates, there was lots of cheer and enthusiasm.
