Presentation of practical/real cases with discussion. Seminars require student attendance and participation. In addition to the presentation time, all sessions necessarily include a discussion/debate period, in which informed participation by all students is expected. Ideally, this space should allow for confrontation between the theoretical references acquired and the experiences reported by the speakers.

The semester will have several sessions with guest speakers and others with student discussion and presentations, according to the program to be announced.

The assessment consists of the following:
1) in-depth written assignment on a theme/topic covered in one of the seminars;
2) written assignment with a brief summary/critical analysis of four seminars;
3) oral presentation of the assignment mentioned in 1);
