Educational methods
They are primarily based, after theoretical explanation and demonstration, on the application of the taught tools, exercises, role-playing games and scenarios. Illustrated with many examples from everyday life and linked to the real-life experiences of the participants, my teaching is very concrete, playful and accessible to all.
I make it a point to render knowledge available to the most humble, by carrying out a high-quality popularisation.
