It was evidentthat a cultural change was necessary to switch from “sink or swim” culture to a less competitiveand collaboration-based environment. In fact, we need a change of paradigm from a teacher-centered to a student-centered pedagogy (4).StructureThe road to success for this project requires everyone’s contribution and involvement.
