  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The students will be working on projects related to real-life negotiation and sales situations, offering them a deeper and contextualised learning experience. Group work involves simulation/role-playing: allowing students to experience real negotiation scenarios, and helping them understand the dynamics and strategies involved. Peer-to-peer learning: fostering discussions and tasks where students can learn from each other, sharing experiences and different perspectives. Reflection sessions: After simulations and role-playing activities, there are moments of reflection where students can discuss what worked, what didn't, and how they can improve. Problem-based learning: challenging students with real-world sales negotiation issues, encouraging them to propose solutions using theories and techniques taught in the curriculum unit.
