Learn<\/span>something else<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
\n

In the past, there has been a focus on providing technical skills to \u201cdevelop\u201d territories. Today, at a time when technology has shown its limitations, it is essential to strengthen new skills and acquire different capabilities. This means learning to explore imagined worlds, overcome cognitive biases, understand systems, collaborate, be flexible, and be creative. The range of skills needed to truly transform the existing dynamics has broadened and can be divided into three main categories: knowledge, expertise, and interpersonal skills.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Learn<\/span>DIFFERENTLY<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
\n

The Campus AFD monitors the latest developments in cognitive and educational sciences and uses them to create transformational training programmes based on the most engaging teaching methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are at the heart of our training: not only their brains, but also their body and emotions, which play a vital role in learning. Our courses focus on dialogue, collective intelligence, and learning together. This involves taking an active or experience-based approach to teaching and leveraging imaginations to share knowledge, find inspiration, open new possibilities, and innovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital tools are used to provide access to a wide range of additional resources and to run online classes and webinars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Learn<\/span>TOGETHER<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
\n

Our courses aim to change perspectives, challenge current ways of reasoning, anchor thinking locally, and mobilise the wealth of local knowledge and skills. To do this, our team encourages the co-creation of educational programmes with local stakeholders and focuses on shared learning, particularly with regard to the diversity of participants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

OUR vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In an evolving world, there is a pressing need to change how we think and live. This means new skills are required and new ways of learning must be adopted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the Campus AFD is to provide a platform dedicated to the development of professional skills and a space for reinvention. It is a network where people, perspectives, and ideas come together and a place for new forms of training and in-depth reflections on the issues of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To encourage a spirit of openness and sharing, the Campus AFD is designed for both people inside and outside the organisation. These two groups of people can pursue their training together when the content and format of a course are suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
