Pedagogical approach

This training mixes theory and practice. Each theme is first introduced based on the most up-to-date field knowledge, and various examples are added from the trainer’s own experience.
The concepts and methodologies are then experienced in workshops, with real or fictional cases.
The participants can practice and interact about their own understanding and experience of the concepts.
The workshops are rounded up by feedback and debate sessions that allow everyone to put their own practice into perspective.
