Is an educational model, developed by Accion International, oriented to entrepreneurs from the informal sector in Latin America. It is based on entrepreneurs experience and on their learning modes; it adapts itself to their personal characteristics and to the dynamics of their micro-enterprises. We use the seminars of “Dialogo de Gestiones” for the training of microenterprise owners.
