Educational seminar: MASTERING THE SKILL OF SILENCE
Place and date: Slovenia, Ljubljana, 24-28th of November 2025
The seminar promotes that the phenomenon of silence needs to be addressed today more than ever before in history. This is because modern society functions based on audiovisual images of existence through which we perceive today's reality. The fundamental challenge we face today, therefore, is how to deal with the omnipresence of this audiovisual reality (especially due to the coming mixed era of physical and virtual reality). This is why we need to stimulate a greater state of silence in our lives.
Why is the developing skill of silence today important?
As a lever for creativity
As a skill so we don't have to talk so much
As a counterpoint to the increasing importance of words and images
As a lever for self-knowledge
As a lever to find out how mentally programmed we are
As a lever to increase self-satisfaction
As a lever for confronting one's own identity
As a lever to strengthen visionary leadership as opposed to traditional management
As a lever to shift our thinking from a focus on the past and the future to the present
As a tool to balance our mind and body
As a lever to play the inner post-call, which will also give the young person an identity background that can no longer rely on traditional identity foundations
AT LAST, to face easier the emerging digital era and co-existence better with AI’s development

Educational seminar: PROACTIVE APPROACH TO DIGITAL ADDICTION
Place and date: Slovenia, Ljubljana, 8-12th of December 2025
Digital addiction (to digital devices and the digital worlds we access through these devices) is usually addressed through the preventive paradigm (challenges from professionals, parents, and teachers to reduce the use of digital devices by young people) and the curative paradigm (the use of psycho-social-health professional interventions when digital addiction occurs in young people).
The seminar refers to Digital Addiction more proactively and it addresses two alternative paradigms in dealing with this type of addiction: a reflective one, which focuses on finding the origins of addiction in the light of the relationship between the individual and society, and a proactive one (which focuses on the individual's understanding and strengthening of the self to more easily overcome all of the challenges and pitfalls of the digital age).
