Teaching mode and additional features
This programme is delivered by a mix of in-person workshops in Brussels and self-study. On-site participation for the workshops is strongly recommended to benefit from direct exchanges with faculty and other participants. Group sizes may vary from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 20 participants. Henley and ETI will apply in-depth application, action learning and syndicate-method principles, which allow participants a maximum of peer-to-peer interaction with each other as well as discuss issues and exchange knowledge in small groups.
The programme is also about strengthening participants’ ties within the community of European Public Affairs Professionals. In addition to the formal part of the programme, participants have the option to participate in further networking and exchanges in an informal setting outside the session rooms. A networking dinner is organized on Day 1 of the workshops to give participants a chance to discuss further and interact in a more relaxed setting with the other participants and faculty.
