Modernize teaching without losing the human connection of the CNA method.Chapter 01 · Challenge

Modernize teaching without losing the human connection of the method.

CNA needed to modernize its teaching approach in the face of learning apps and gamification, without losing the human connection that has always been the base of its method. The challenge included serving very different audiences, from children to adults, within a tight deadline and with high pedagogical complexity.
