SiD Fundamentals for Integrated Sustainability Training
Service > From systemic theory to informed action in three days
The 3-day Symbiosis in Development (SiD) training has been our most popular program from the start. You will learn about the key principles of integrated sustainable development and how to apply the SiD approach in your organizational context. The 2+1-day training is taught and facilitated in English by experienced senior advisors.
SiD is a unique and complete framework for integrated sustainable development. Practioners developed this approach to deliver meaningful results. Except brought it to the world and frontrunners in the field of systems thinking and sustainability have continuously refined the framework over the past two decades. In this training we offer you a unique methodology to hit the ground running and deliver extraordinary results whilst contributing to a more sustainable society.
