Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical-practical classes consist in lectures followed by thematic debate, using audiovisual aids and group dynamic. Tutorial supervision sessions are based on discussion and presentation of texts by groups of students, which are prepared in field work. The evaluation is based in an individual written report on a given topic (intervention in an institution, organization, social movement or community). Similarly, experts are invited to present the intervention
