  • Method: 2018 program, blended learning, 4 universities (CIH, DAAD–exceed, BMZ).
  • Results: Rated 9.7/10; improved risk awareness and prevention skills.
  • Impact: Most teams continued post-project; one university adopted it in its curriculum.


The people in charge of the project are Marie Astrid Garrido, Veronica Encina, Maria Teresa Solis Soto, Manuel Parra, Maria Fernanda Bauleo, Claudia Meneses and Katja Radon.
