Teaching Methods

The sessions are organized based on collective discussion, based on: a) exposure of concepts and methodologies by teachers; b) selected texts; c) information relating to case studies; d) presentations of concrete professional experiences by external guests. Students are actively involved in the discussion, which emphasizes the confrontation between theoretical and methodological content and concrete situations of current reality in the fields of heritage management, programming and communication.
