Aims

- Training : to practise, according to students' needs, methodological skills for training,
- Integration : to enable students to analyse their training process(es), to give meaning to their project ,
- Management : to make students responsible for the logistical and pedagogical management of their training.

Main themes

- Training : the course content varies from year to year and reflects students' needs. It is organized around four main axes : group work (regulation and analysis of how it works, decision taking, negotiation etc. ; methods of intellectual work (document research, production and reading-summary of academic texts, oral expression etc.) ; methods more specific to adult training (mental training, research-action, project management, creativity etc.) ; methods which allow individuals to stand back (management of stress, time etc.).
- Integration : this workshop provides opportunities for discussion and exchange of views on questions relating to the way in which students see their training and the impact that training has on students' projects. It mainly deals with the principles of training, the strategies behind them and the related issues.
The approach is mainly an inductive and collective one.
- Management : the content varies from year to year and reflects students' needs, but it is always linked, first, to pedagogical and organizational management of the group (relating to courses : drawing up of leaving contracts, mid-term and final assessment etc. ; in the context of groups: division of responsibilities, election of representatives, preparation for committees etc) and, second, the different meetings and institutional committees.

Content and teaching methods

The content of this workshop varies from year to year. It includes three main parts : a methodological part, one on the meaning of training and a third on the organizational management of the group and the Institute.
