Program Flow
Methodology
We used non-formal education methodology, based on a learning centered approach, active participation according to participants' interests and degree of involvement. There were flexibility to adapt to the group's needs and their motivations, within reasonable limits.
There was a balance between theoretical concepts, practical learning and use of concrete and useful tools. The training course was based also in an holistic way of working where body, emotions and reflection were interlinked across the whole course.
