Methodology

The sessions are dynamic and participatory, both in presential sessions and in virtual ones. It is foreseen that half of the sessions are virtual and the other half at the university. One week will be face-to-face and the next will be virtual, in a way that it will not affect the development of the course if we have to move all sessions to the university or to virtual. 

They combine, on the one hand, theoretical classes given by the professor, and on the other hand, their practical application in group and individually through dynamics, works and diverse presentations.

In all classes, constructive and open debate, personal growth and individual and collective reflection will always be encouraged.
