to learn very important tips on these
issues. Small group work on study
design was extremely important, since
we had the chance of facing real life
study questions and we could build
our own way to solve them. After
that, we presented this study design to
the big group and, as usual in TTT,
we had the feedback of all the participants
and experts from our study
design, giving us great advice.
But TTT was not just science!
Every dinner together was an opportunity
to build friendships and
networking, alongside tasting the
amazing local cuisine. Participants
had a very warm welcome from our
hosts from Romania. Faculty and
participants members from Romania
gave us all the support necessary to
focus on TTT, with great facilities and
good care of every detail of the workshop.
Our city tour in Bucharest was
a special moment that ended in a very
traditional restaurant where music,
dance, food and wine showed us the
flavors of this beautiful country. The
cultural evening was also a touching
moment where everyone had the opportunity
to show some of their own
culture. Every corner of the world was
represented in TTT and it was amazing
to take home a piece of the culture
of people from numerous parts of the
world.
My teaching and personal life
will not be the same after Romania
TTT. Network, friends and unique
techniques made me a better person.
I give many thanks to Mario Reis
Álvares-da-Silva from the WGO
Porto Alegre Training Center for giving
me the opportunity to participate
in this course by nominating me to
be a participant. Back home I already
started using more active learning
methods, besides taking better care
in giving feedback. E-learning is
the next step to improve my institution
teaching results. The journey in
Romania was beautiful and my own is
just beginning at home.
