The 3-day Symbiosis in Development (SiD) training introduces teams to the key components of integrated sustainability, systems thinking, and sustainability roadmaps. These core components are essential for a full understanding of the global sustainability challenge, its theory, strategies, and solution pathways. The program is intimate, fast-paced, and optimized for teams of 6-8 people. The 2+1-day training is taught and facilitated by experienced senior advisors, either in-house or at the UCo center for sustainability in Utrecht.
Symbiosis in Development is developed to provide an answer to the increasing complexity of today's sustainability challenge. It is the only full-scope framework for tackling systemic change available today, and critical for anyone wishing to seruiously engage in sustainable development.
SiD is a complete framework for integrated sustainable development, developed in practice, for practitioners, by practitioners. Frontrunners in the field of systems thinking and sustainability continuously refine the framework, over the past two decades and ongoing. Using SiD gives the team deep insight into how projects and organizations affects society, where intervention points lie, how to minimize negative and maximize positive impact, and how to build an actionable roadmap towards tangible results.
