Pedagogical approach

This training uses the 4 types of Project Life Cycles as an umbrella to position the different topics.

Each theme is first introduced on the basis of the most up-to-date field knowledge and various examples are added from the own experience of the trainer. We provide you with extra reference material and posters to understand each theme.

The concepts and methodologies are discussed after the explanation of the trainer in order to understand proper application areas for each of them. The participants can 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.
