Interaction and learning is promoted using a combination of presentations, group discussion, group exercises, case studies and development of individual or team action plans. Group exercises and case studies are designed so that the different roles and levels of experience and knowledge of different target groups are taken into account.
The course focuses on EC project and programme management cycle and therefore complements the course on country-led environmental and climate change mainstreaming (specialist course) which aims at learning how to support government counterparts in their own integration efforts. It is also complemented by a one-day introductory course on green economy which focuses on the economic opportunities related to the environment sector.
