Add meaning, purpose and energy to who we are, what we do and how we live. Learn to love Self, others and the World!
People are born with innate qualities of goodness, are a gift to humanity and wish to positively contribute to the World.
This programme can help youth in their critical years of growth and development, to explore one’s own right relationships with the self, self and others, sense of purpose and contribution, actions and interactions, others and the living world around, connecting with their higher self, and empowering and maintaining a stable and balanced approach to life.
With all that, we provide a strong root for every human being from which further positive actions can develop, in any field and in any direction.
The programme is planned as a model - so it can be scalable and transferable to any setting and environment, wherever there is a good will for diving into the depths of own identity and the impact we have on others and the World.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon in Oxford when Peter Williams, Doug Stephenson and I sat down to talk about growing up and why is it good to keep your inner child alive. We talked about grim conditions in Macedonia, how is it in the world, how it's becoming harder to grow up happy and aware of Self. Then Peter's eyes shone like a diamond and he said, let's make a ripple effect! Let's start with one group of young people, who in turn can do something positive with their peers or younger ones. Doug had an idea to do it in steps, and we called it THE SEVEN KEYS. It outlines the whole worldview one young person can have, about Self, the others, relation with all, about the values, identity, empathy, confidence and belief in oneself, about accepting the uniqueness and inherent goodness of every individual. It's a complete Human Potential Development programme, starting with the Core. And here we are! Hope you like it and will go for it. Every little helps! :)
Regarding this project, we plan to establish partnerships with few educational institutions in Macedonia, schools and clubs, with publishing houses, libraries and municipalities, as well as with worldwide educators who would be willing to share their skills and knowledge for the benefit of the youth involved.
We plan to work with volunteers mostly. The team is composed of two managers, one assistant, and a team of educators for specific parts of the programme.
Moral support is always welcome as well! A small gesture of appreciation makes wonders...
