Please be aware that the course description provided is merely meant to serve as an example and may not always be carried out exactly as described. Pre-evaluation of competencies, information presented at kick-off meetings, and enrollment data form the main basis of our need analysis. As a result, it’s feasible that the program will be modified to better suit the various demands of the participants.

Teachers of any subject, educators, and school administrative staff.

Teachers who work directly with adults in rural areas or in long-term unemployment, especially in the rural areas. Participants have experience in training for employment, but require updating in methodologies and approaches to social entrepreneurship for adults in areas with a lack of economic resources.

Language level requirements for participants: B1 or above

Maximum number of participants: 20

Minimum number of participants: 15

The course will cover a broad range of conceptual and practical topics, providing
participants with hands-on activities, project work, peer-learning and
participatory activities aimed at deepening understanding and application.

Assessment and validation of learning outcomes

A combination of brief entrance and final exams, rubrics, and data gleaned from work or other practice will be used to evaluate the learning objectives.
Once participants successfully demonstrate that they have met the course goals, they will get a certificate of completion.

Our training centre is located in Calle Buen Gobernador 5 (20 away from City Centre).

The hotel accommodation is 2-min walking distance from the training centre.

Minimum advance reservation : 12 weeks

Course dates are made available based on the availability of trainers but are “confirmed” only once the minimum number of participants (15) is reached.

The course usually takes place Monday to Friday and the full-day trip usually takes place on Sundays, so Sundays are arrival and departure days for those who book course, activities and accommodation. You can leave earlier if you book just the course.

Please register in advance for the days that are most convenient for you if they are either «To be confirmed» or not on the above list. This will allow us to keep track of your preferences, coordinate with everyone to get everyone on the same dates, and confirm the dates!
