How does it work?

Scientific Approach

Scientific Theories

…and models of the world help us to gain knowledge and understanding of it and of human behaviour and experience.

Future Predictions

Theories enable us not only to explain the reasons why things are the way they are but also to make predictions of the future based on statistical data.

Evidence-based data

The theories and models are supported by evidence-based data collected in reliably designed scientific studies.

Methods and Exercises

… build the bridges between the theories about human behaviour and experience to their practical applications. They are not only derived from the theoretical backgrounds but also consider the conditions needed for the desired effects to appear.

Causal explanations

Science aims to explain and understand how the world works and why things happen, the main goal being to build knowledge and understanding.

Evaluation of methods and outcomes

For many methods and exercises there are scientifically conducted evaluations of their effects measuring to what degree they produce the desired outcomes.

Experiential Learning

The more learning stages we go through, the more lasting the learning outcomes.

The program utilises all 4 stages of Kolb’s experiential learning cycle:

1. Concrete Experience – act, do, experience. Encounter a new experience or situation, or reinterpret an existing experience.


2. Reflective Observation of the New Experience – look back and assess. Of particular importance are any inconsistencies between experience and understanding.


3. Abstract Conceptualization – make sense of the experience, draw conclusions. Form new hypotheses or generalisations; modify an existing abstract concept (i.e. “learn from your experience”).

4. Active Experimentation – test your conclusions, make a conscious plan of action. Apply your ideas and learnings to the world around you to see what happens.
