Methodology
The program is based on experiential learning and is made by processes and activities that embrace various areas of life and focus on the relation with others and with oneself.
The approach is based on the concept that everybody is the creator of their own experience and set the limits regarding how far to go during the project.
The activities of the program are lectures, simulations, games, reflections, sharings, bodywork, guided visualizations, assignments. We use music to focus on the topic of the previous or next activity.
ROOTS
The method and the approach of this program has a long history.
Coming from the late 60s and early 70s in California, then passing through South Africa - with Pat Grove - and Israel to reach the European coast in several forms and shapes. In the 2000s the method was transferred from the for-profit field into the non-for-profit sector by a group of European youth workers from the Netherlands, Hungary and Greece.
Now, more then 15 years later, thousands of youth workers, trainers, coaches, volunteers and people interested in their personal and professional development have participated in programs utilizing the method.
Eventually, an informal network across more than 35 organizations from EU and countries bordering EU was created and programs have been organized and implemented in the Netherlands, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Lithuania, Armenia, Austria and Denmark.
In numbers, the past 15 years look like:
-
More than 3000 people participated;
-
More than 100 programs organized and implemented;
-
More than 15 new NGOs were established across the EU.
The method is called “Synergy” and equips people with tools and techniques that increase their abilities to achieve personal and professional success while enjoying life. The key is the HOW: the practice of integrity, to strive for excellence and authenticity.
Within this frame, each trainer who implements a Basic Synergy develops the program with a specific personal approach combining it with other tools that can make them very different experiences one to another.
In case you already attended a "Basic Synergy” program or an “Event Wise” as a participant, do let us know. It might be more relevant for you to join our project as co-trainer.
