The course is strongly based on experimental learning (learning by doing), with adequate time allocated for debriefing and reflection throughout the whole program as the process will be highly personal and aim for attitudinal changes, therefore, the reflection is a very important part of the process. Generally, the working methods are rather non-formal and participative.
