You probably have some questions

Who organises this training?

Unfold reply

PLAY is a training programme of the Campus of the Agence Française de Développement. Convinced that it is necessary, in a complex and changing world, to broaden the scope of skills and adapt pedagogical approaches so that they promote learning, free the imagination and encourage action, AFD Campus co-constructs and develops innovative and engaging training courses for major transitions.

Thanks to expertise inspired by the teachings of the cognitive sciences, which advocate training through dialogue, experience sharing, inspiration and active learning, Campus AFD reinforces the knowledge, know-how and skills of the 21st century (learning to learn, to care, to be creative, to build narratives, to create meaning, to collaborate) to help learners understand the complexity of transitions and to act with awareness. It enables them to reinvent their positions and postures, to imagine new solutions and paths and to accelerate high-impact projects for a fairer and more sustainable world.

In my opinion, PLAY is not a training course, but a rich and powerful "experience", an exploration of different human aspects that complement each other. It has profoundly transformed me and given me the desire and courage to act as an agent of change.

PLAY has taught me a lot about how to manage my team [...]. I strongly recommend this course to any entrepreneur or intrapreneur. In addition, there is an excellent atmosphere on the AFD Campus : thank you for your friendly welcome and excellent organization!

It was a wonderful experience, and I learned a lot. The meditation techniques were just great. [...] The informal time we spent together and the availability of the AFD Campus team also created a strong sense of cohesion within the group.
