Planned learning activities and teaching methods

- Classic" courses and seminars

- Flipped classroom": students prepare the sessions by reading texts and reflecting individually and in groups on the questions they have. Face-to-face sessions are dedicated to answering their questions, explaining concepts and illustrating them with complementary examples

- Group work: this allows students to develop not only a knowledge of the issue in a collaborative manner but also, in parallel: reflexivity and awareness of their own point of view, an ability to situate this point of view among those of others
