Our more than 250 workshops, coachings, trainings and dialog processes are based on our 20 years of experience of international and academic collaboration.
We look forward to sharing not just our experience and knowledge but to a shared learning experience together with you.
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING FOR THE CHALLENGES OF THE FUTURE
The ways to a life-long, self-paced and holistic learning are diverse. All have in common, that answers to open questions develop in the process of learning. Therefore, different motives and learning objectives require different forms of collaboration.
Sometimes small impulses are initiating change, sometimes long-term accompanying processes are required to overcome resistance and to open for new ideas, sometimes knowledge needs to be transferred to ones own topics, sometimes the dialogues, the common experiences and the mutual exchange are the added values. Always reliable frameworks are needed to enable learning, understanding and collaboration.
We provide learning frameworks with content-based and methodological impulses where participants can experiment with their knowledge, learn from each other and expand their individual competencies.
SAMIN I EARTH I persisan زمین
“Our logo, a globe that symbolically connects different geographical areas with a bond of understanding, is a symbiosis of our cultural roots, professional discipline and cooperation.
In Farsi, SAMIN means „earth“ and for us it symbolizes the respectful cooperation of people in and with the environment. Working in a diverse and international team means we learn to see our world from different perspectives every single day. At SAMIN, we live our values and are committed to giving that wealth of experience room to unfold in everything we do.”
