Understanding Your Values" workshop held in Brussels in December 2008
led by TetraLD trainers Marc Avanzo of France and Graham Boyd of Belgium
 |
The youth were artfully lead through a process of understanding where " values" come from and how risk taking can get them past the " prisoners dilemma " (where we create the behaviour we are afraid of) . To a realization of the upward and downward spirals they choose to live in , whilst appreciating the role of the group and developing a deeper understanding the place "trust" has in their lives. Furthermore the 4 leadership styles were explored as well as how emotional intelligence can be understood and used.

Here is one of the reactions from a participant:
"The true values always prevail with the human nature; actually with everyone. It is just the way we need to have to tune these up. This fact was clearly revealed by the workshop on "Lead by your Values"- which inspired me to rethink my own values in priority order as per the pragmatic classification. I got the ways to get happiness in inner impression of mine, through which I understand that I can flourish from my own activities, going along with my own esteemed values, and of course acting properly to maintain the stability with the harmony and diversity.
The three values to be prioritised I came up with from the workshop were "Survival", "Connection", and "Fun", which happens to be logically valid, emotionally attached, and socially acceptable. I just know that there is no alternative to peace and unity in the world, which would be only possible if we, everybody, lead ourselves with the valid and pragmatic values inside us, which were most rigorously explored by the theoretical, and interactive session of the workshop. I am really thankful to EBBF, Dale and Leila Emerson, Marc Avanzo,and Graham Boyd for devoting their investment and time to share their values with us. My sentiment of appreciation is attached to all of the participants for they were my source of inspiration to better know myself and to hone my internal guidelines. Most importantly, I understand that the world is very beautiful, if we care for it beautifully, and keep it unconditionally beautiful. (Shambhu Nath Jha, Nepal)"
