Active Methods for Effective Learning

EMMIO combines a hands-on approach with a solid theoretical component, anchored around management frameworks and tools tailored to the operational and institutional specificities of international organizations.
Different and complementary learning methodologies will be adopted, to generate the participants’ highest active learning involvement.
Lectures in class will be introducing key concepts, methodologies and techniques. Case study and business case discussions, exercises, simulations, role playing will be at the core of the teaching and learning methodologies of all class activities.
The learning experience is built upon a process including three phases: learn the target knowledge, experiment it and apply to company context.
Active learning is supported by a comprehensive executive coaching component which runs throughout the EMMIO program.
