Training methods used & main activities

We develop the participants' skills through practical methods and "active learning". This is why we combine the elements of non-formal education with working on real tasks, making actual creating video tutorials. Most of our sessions involve a mix of formal learning and non-formal methods, such as - games, team-buildings, visual methods, competitions, theater, drama, role-plays, group work, peer to peer learning, discussion etc
