Learning is promoted sustainably through various forms. In plenary sessions, the course content is conveyed with the help of keynote speeches and texts, educational discussions, online lectures and examples. In small groups and home groups, participants go through reflection and feedback loops that promote the knowledge process. Contact with the lecturers is possible at any time. Action learning transfers practical, current issues faced by learners into the classroom and thus into theory, leading them to a solution that can be put into practice. Practice influences theory and not the other way around.
