OUR PHILOSOPHY
Learning is relational. We are all in relationships – with ourselves, with others and with life experiences that affect our learning in many ways.
For learning to be effective and accessible it must be practical, user-friendly, cost effective and relevant. To achieve these aims, we tailor training and development programs that fit the organisation, its people and kaupapa (core business).
For people to get the most out of professional development and to put the most in, our training programmes are designed with principles of adult education in mind. These include identifiying, building on and enhancing participants current knowledge and experience. It also means delivering programmes that fit with participants hopes and expectations.
Our teaching activities are varied and interactive and cater for the different ways and stages people learn. They are also adapted to participants differing levels of knowledge and experience.
This means thincludes means empowering workplace relationships. Our learning tools are graduated and begin with simple, practical ideas and examples and progress to more complex and theoretical content as required.
We prefer a relational, collaborative and appreciative approach to group work. This means working together, valuing all knowledge and experience, reaching for the best possible outcomes and solutions. To do this, we embrace diversity and difference and believe in creating inclusive, safe, respectful learning spaces.
