If you are an adult educator, leader, coordinator, career counselor, coach, trainer, social worker, or psychologist or simply passionate about more holistic addressing of certain known topics, the educational seminars below can be suitable and usable for you!

 

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

 Content aspects from the 5-day seminar: 

  • The central views about silence

  • Silence on a physical level 

  • Silence on verbal and nonverbal levels

  • Silence on a thinking level

  • Silence on Self-level

 

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). 

Content extracts from the 5-day seminar: 

  • Clarification of digital addiction itself

  • Types of crises affecting young people in modern society

  • Different aspects of the human self

  • Between origins and causes of potential addiction 

  • The parallel existence of time and space in the digital and physical worlds 

  • Limits of the preventive paradigm in dealing with digital addiction 

  • Reflective paradigm in dealing with digital addiction

  • Proactive paradigm in dealing with digital addiction
