Learning activities are based on UNITAR's sound adult learning pedagogical principles. They are distributed in such a way to ensure the achievement of the learning objectives in a flexible manner: learning materials can indeed be consulted in a non-linear way so as to provide participants with a high degree of flexibility in choosing the learning pace that is the most adequate to them. Thus, participants are responsible for their own learning throughout the course. Each module aims to deepen the participant's skills and understanding as well as provide them with the opportunity to network and dialogue with other participants, sharing country specific experiences.

The course is moderated by a high level expert on migration issues.

Learning materials include the following elements:

• Basic reading materials (compulsory) intended to understand the basic concepts and principles of modules' subject matter;
• Advanced reading materials (optional) for participants willing to learn more about the topic;
• External links to relevant publications, reports and websites;
• Glossaries of terms and of acronyms as supportive learning tools;
• A community discussion board (forum) for participants to discuss topics initiated by the course moderator and to post questions, comments or new discussions.
