CONTENT & METHODOLOGY
CONTENT & METHODOLOGY
Content and methodology are based on principles of human behavior drawn from the fields of anthropology, psychology, and sociology in the context of deep learning. Beginning with the personal level, learners relate the challenges and content to their own lives and experiences. Participants will receive guidance and information on the application of learning, helping them transfer the awareness, knowledge, and skills obtained. The goal is to provide participants with tools they can apply immediately.
Sessions are engaging and designed for adult learners. Content is relevant as determined through client collaboration. We are dedicated to assist organizations with developing the skills to remain on the equity path!
