The five-day presence workshop in Ireland allows participants to acquire methodological competencies (attitudes and skills) that are necessary to facilitate interactive innovation processes and reflect their own role through an experiential learning approach.

encourages participants to reflect on how they have or could use their learnings from the course. The training will be conducted by experienced trainers (and advisors), and together with a field visit, practical innovation cases will be discussed.
