Lecturers include Frank Janssen and Geert Groenen, both 6-dan, as well as Willem-Koen Pomstra 5d, who has attended all winter and summer Dutch Teaching Schools. Manuela Marz 4d will also give lectures on go, including "The seven dwarfs and other fairy tales" and "Why basketballs have bad shape and bicycles are dangerous." German families participating include the "First Family" of German Go, Deutscher Go-Bund President Michael Marz 3d, his wife Manuela 4d, and their young child.
