Being able to exchange impressions and mature and make intrateam decisions on the spot, define objectives, timings, priorities and manage tasks, build contributions in real time, forms a core of essential and structuring skills in the production of work essential to the development of the education system and of all contexts in which it is necessary to improve the efficiency of teamwork.
This course is designed for trainers, school teachers, educators, or social workers from educational institutions or other organizations (such as NGOs or associations) who wish to learn about and put new digital tools to use in order to become better project administrators!
