🇳🇱💻🧩 Erasmus+ E-Learning Training Course in the Netherlands – Systemic Approach: First Steps for Educators, Coaches & Trainers 🌍🧠 Seeing Systems, Working with Complexity 🇳🇱

🌟 Opportunity Overview
Systemic Approach – First Steps is an Erasmus+ E-learning Training Course organised by Stichting EnvironMental (Youth NGO) and delivered online from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
This 4-session online course is designed for educators, youth and community workers, coaches, trainers, facilitators, and L&D professionals who want to understand and apply systemic thinking in their work with people.

Rather than focusing on isolated individuals or linear cause-and-effect thinking, this training introduces participants to systemic perspectives, helping them work with relationships, roles, hidden dynamics, and patterns in education, coaching, leadership, and community contexts.
