Lupo said, "governance in our countries depends on the capacity of their actors to build the consensuses needed to promote the development of the economies of the region with a view to the social and human betterment of their citizens."
"To do this we consider that tools such as negotiation, strategic communication and leadership are fundamental for developing a capacity for consensus building."

During the all-day training session held in the CAF Antonio José de Sucre auditorium, participants analyzed the Negotiation Model of Harvard University based on negotiation as process, as well as value added in this field and its efficiency.
Persuasion tools were also explained such as attitudinal change, ethical principles and the steps of persuasion. The final subject covered by the seminar was "The power of communication: its individual tools and content organization."
