2. Support field-based experiences in local territories in different geographical contexts;
3. Promote synergies between academia and international developmental organizations;
4. Allow participants to increase their “soft skills” (problem solving, analysis, diagnosis, synthesis, planning, time management, active listening, communication, teamwork, adaptation to diversity, stress management).
