Activities
Learning activities will consist in face to face lectures, team activities, individual homework and e-learning. Together with face to face lecture, participants will be stimulated to apply theoretical knowledge on participatory methods in the analysis of some real-life case, both individually and in team activities, and finally to discuss their beliefs and considerations with other participants and with teachers, who assumes the role of facilitator in this part of the course. Different kinds of materials will be provided to learners in order to stimulate reflection and analysis: in-depth interviews, videos, textual and photographic documentation relating to good practices in diversity management. All the materials will be available on the online platform.
