WHAT IS ITS WORK METHODOLOGY?

• It is based on the training needs: to adapt the process to the level, expectations, and the interests of the working group.

• It is a focused training process on learning, not only transmitting information.

•  It is based on group participation. It is the working group itself that guides its own learning process.

•  It is practice-oriented.

•  It is based on creativity, such as the capacity needed to provide a methodological answer to each step in the training process.
