In order to address this new reality, a faculty team integrate a partnership between 3 universities in different countries Colombia, Peru and Mexico, using active learning (Lobo, 2017) and research methodology on issues of supply chain management, companies' resilience and the generation of roadmap to support the microenterprise in challenging environment (Tanco, et al 2018). The methodology consisted of: the common planning phase (definition of courses, work plan, objectives); 2. Implementation of the projects with micro enterprises (diagnosis stage, proposal and development of solution and presentation of results); 3.

The results show the elements of active learning present as learning by doing (even the digital education), the socialization of the knowledge and the concern and commitment with the microenterprises, using their knowledge as industrial and logistics engineers.
