LSS is a Non Formal  Education program in which the content is adapted from the needs of the participants, and their organisations, in order to maximize the learning. LSS Educational Strategies are learner centered, focused on practical skills, knowledge sharing and best-practices exchanges. Therefore, participants involvement is crucial.

The main learning activities are the following…

TRAINING SESSIONS

A training session is an interactive learning activity between a trainer and participants, trainees; during which the trainer aims at facilitating the acquisition or development of trainees’ knowledge, skills and competencies on a specific topic.

With over 50 dedicated hours, training sessions are the main learning activities, for which the topics are defined, for every edition, to match the needs and expectations of participants and their organisations.

The methodologies used to transfer knowledge revolve around theory presentations, practical experimentation, workshops, case studies, peer sharing and feedback exchange.

Through training participants also learn how to pass their newly gained skills and knowledge to their colleagues from their organisations.
