Teaching methods and learning activities

Knowledge sharing will be transversal and not hierarchical. The amount of relevant information will dictate that course participants not only assume the role of mutual informants, but also a continuous and reciprocal filtering role. Above all, the teacher will be the moderator and conductor of an individual learning process, supported both by his own research and by sharing experiences.
