Case studies from: El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica
During each exchange week, three main virtual sessions will be carried out, with the purpose of strengthening the learning in all participants:
- First webinar “KNOW IT”: we will learn about the successful experiences that will be shared, emphasizing the methodological approach of the experience
- Second webinar “BE IT”: we will listen to the impact testimonies told, emphasizing the reflective approach of generated changes .
- Third Webinar “DO IT”: we will carry out a roadmap or group work plan, emphasizing the practical approach of the lessons learned.
We strongly encourage you to attend the 3 sessions. Supporting material will be shared with participants that will attend the 3 sessions to help accelerating learning by developing an “Action Plans” to replicate/adapt some of the good practices shared during the webinars.
