The Course
Methodology
This course has been designed to last approximately 3 months. There are 9 topics and each topic will require between 4 and 5 hours.
We recommend you to study one topic per week. Nevertheless, we recognise that the amount of time required to cover the entire course will entirely depend on your own learning process. We are more focused on the learning outcomes, This timings is just a guide for you to organise yourself.
All the topics follow the same structure: Information + practical exercises. To support the course, we invite you to download the Peer2Peer Manual, to which you can refer whenever needed.
To complete each topic, you should read the information provided and fill out the exercises by uploading your answers, comments and thoughts to our forum or platform. Besides, there will be two individual assessments, one after topic 5 and the second one at the end of the course. Both, are designed to provide you with a chance to reflect upon what you have learnt.
