Course Description
Our TLS 'Discovery Workshop' in Project-based Learning starts your PBL journey to actively engage students in purposeful learning to explore complex challenges and real-world problems.
As the PBL educator, your role shifts to that of a mentor, providing appropriate project guidance as your students develop a process portfolio, product, and public presentation.
This immersive professional development training course in Budapest, Hungary provides an excellent opportunity for educators to learn about Project-based and Place-based Learning methods that focus on hands-on, real-world experiences that allow students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways:
