Our methodology is based on theoretical input, presentations of examples of good practice as well as demonstrations and experience comparisons and in the most part practical learning by doing approach. Participants will have the opportunity to get to know the theoretical background as well as go through a series of practical exercises and project tasks which will be tried out and reflected upon and evaluated by participants themselves, the trainer and the group throughout the course. After the course, learning outcomes will be recorded on the Europass Mobility Document (if requested by the participants).

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

All the materials will be made available to the participants in digital form upon completion of the course.
