MAKNO IN A NUTSHELL
Napoli – 9 July 2010
The learning approach used in the project has been a constructivist one.
The partners explored this approach, attending the project practices and experimenting that knowledge is a social product; something larger and more wealthy than the different contributions of involved persons, but existing as it is because of the contributions of involved persons.
A shared knowledge that goes beyond the contributions of participants in the process: a trans-cultural output.
