What is a study retreat?

It is a social opportunity to work online, but alone. Participants will focus on their own study assignments. Studying is carried out in 25 min study sessions based on pomodoro technique. There are some short breaks between the study episodes. Breaks includes some relaxation, stretching or refreshing exercises. NOTE!
