Teaching Methodologies

This is a CU that is an extension of the work in Monitoring and Orientation Seminar I, keeping up the same logic of work, very close to the reflection and structuring practices on the ground. Thus, it is planned to carry out reflections / discussions and thematic seminars, focusing on issues that are being worked out at the level of UC Project.
