How?

The secret of the training is in the “how”. As a participant you are going to have the chance to see things from a totally different perspective. To do actions, to act and share and act and share – all in order to make a progress in your learning.

The program is super intense, we work from the morning till late evening, in order to create the maximum opportunity for those who are willing to learn and create. The build-up of the training is similar to a sport training, every day we do a bit more and we use the previous experiences as a common base to build upon them.

Through personal development you will have the chance to improve your skills and gather knowledge in coaching and monitoring. We are going to take planning and project management skills and analyse them step by step to create the clearest possible understanding. By doing this we practice how to use them. Entrepreneurship is the new way of implementing ideas. It is a trainable competence an like all the other competences it needs a lot of practice, and you need to do actions in order to develop it. Through practice you have the chance to experience active participation and involvement, how you can be the creator of your own workplace and make is sustainable for yourself.
