Workshops
These experiential courses and workshops are set up acknowledging that change (and learning) manifest through our brains as well as through our bodies.

- Embodied exercises to dismantle the central position of the “institutional teacher”.
- Study case scenarios to dissect critical repetitive situations.
- The application of memetics to assess complex behavior.
- Methods to engage students to critique, make suggestions, take part of the process.
- Tools for building up caring attitudes, and sense of community.
- Play as learning activator.
