Each module develops according to three modalities: dislocation, sharing, spreading.

• Dislocation: partners are free to work on the project by organizing their own timing, modalities and organizational details;
• Sharing: at some stage there will be 2/3 plenary meetings where results, reflections and perspectives are put in common;
