25-hour course on Cartography as part of a Technical Course on Ecotourism awarded by Instituto Superior de Administração e Linguas (Madeira), lectured in Principe  island (July 2017) 

During the classes, technical training was delivered on map reading, using elevation maps to plan routes, calculate distances in the map using the scale, orientation using the compass and mark coordinates from a GPS device in the map. The course used a participatory and practical approach, getting the students to use in practice the different aspects of maps reading
