Teachers and Class Schedule
Methodology
The training methodology of Akadémeia combines theory and practice to offer a complete experience.
Structured around key words that reflect the challenges of the future, the training includes lessons, simulations, and direct involvement in projects, following a "learning by doing" approach.
This path aims to develop concrete skills and a global vision, in line with the needs of modern public leadership.
Methodology: from the Scientific Committee to Learning by doing
Quality assurance
“For a new generation of local administrators”
The Scientific Committee and the Board of Directors of the Association have the task to guarantee the scientific and academic consistency of the programme and the presence of a wide variety of points of view. The course will thus allow participants to understand the complexity of the topics covered through an in-depth, theoretical and practical, global and local, strategic and operational analysis.
Learning by doing
The experts
This mix of methodologies and relationships based on Learning by doing allows participants to improve practical and theoretical skills, preparing them to face the challenges of their role more effectively.
For each teaching module, experts from different disciplines will be involved, thus contributing to an enrichment of the debate and the formulation of more innovative and applicable solutions.
Academic Programme Structure
Two sessions per year
The School of European Policies for Territorial Governance organizes two sessions every year. Each session is attended by up to 50 young local administrators under 40. The first session is dedicated to Italian students, the second is open to all Europeans (including Italians).
A mix of online and in-person participation
The school offers multiple options to facilitate your attendance. Each session is structured in four monthly appointments, characterized by hybrid attendance. Online lessons take place on a web-platform entirely dedicated to the exchange of educational materials and documents, to facilitate interaction between participants and access to useful resources for their learning path.
Different approaches and points of view
Each session features multiple speakers, ensuring a variety of different perspectives and approaches on the topics covered.
For each teaching module, we involve administrative, academic, technical, political and entrepreneurial high profile representatives, as well as special guests and keynote speakers.
Small groups, for personalized support
Participants are divided into groups. Each group can rely on a coach or facilitator who is in charge of supporting and guiding them both in person and through digital tools, throughout the entire training course.
Calendar
The course schedule is organized into two annual sessions with meetings held both in person and online.
Each session includes a mix of lessons, workshops, and discussion moments. This alternation of formats allows participants to maintain a steady commitment and delve deeper into the topics covered, promoting flexible yet intensive training.
