-Short input & Practice: You will get short theoretical input and you will directly asked to implement them

-Assignments & Feedback: Expect to find yourself in many different multinational teams working together on a media assignment within set time frame.

-Video productions: During the second block of the training you will work with an international group in the production of a social promotional video of a non-profit initiative

-Reflection & Self Assessment: There are dedicated parts of the program, where you can stop and look at your own learning path. This will happen in a small group context, in a plenary but also individually.
