Description

In July-August 2020 an online specialisation course was offered at two Caribbean universities, namely the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, and Universidad Central de Las Villas, in Cuba. Both universities are members of AUF, the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie, which was the client for this training through its regional board in the Caribbean. Katerina Zourou was recommended to the AUF by Mr. Patrick Chardenet, Directeur Expertise & Conseil, at Forum Mondial Heracles, a consulting group to which Katerina belongs.
