Course List The aim of our course contents and approach is to train participants to learn and understand the local culture or communities that they visit and offer participants the opportunity to offer practical working models to real world problems. Together with the Academic Advice, participants will identify a project, conduct on the field, present data and propose solutions. Courses may be challenging but rewarding in the end to see communities benefit from your efforts.
