Training & Coaching

We are inspired by the new facilitation techniques of co-creation to promote collective intelligence within a group. This can include workshops in smaller groups such as the world café type, drawings, role-playing games or storytelling. The objective is to get the greatest possible creativity without making the meetings unnecessarily long.

Integrating sustainability into an organization requires commitment and understanding at all levels of the organization.

Awareness workshops are tailored to the needs of your employees and your organization. The main objectives are to:
