Elos New Leaders is a 5 day intensive program conceptualized and conceived to provoke in leaders the development of competencies necessary for action in complex environments. Our program is distinguished by its quality of learning through action, and allows participants to interact with youth from the Guerreiros Sem Armas program and vulnerable communities.
Learning through action takes the participants through the Elos Philosophy, recognized by national and international governments, companies and organizations for its pragmatism and power to bring change. The program will give you tools and knowledge to be in service of the development of a culture of abundance and collaboration that stimulates positive change.

The most striking fact during my participation was the speed with which the concepts, experiences and visions were shared and assimilated. Without hands-on experience, these elements could not be assimilated. Only a structured and dense program like this can bring that return in such a short time.

The feeling is that it lasts much longer than just five days - there are many stories to tell, many experiences, many connections to expand the possibilities for people to think and act.

Instituto Elos, through programs such as GSA and Oasis, is a fantastic reference of the new qualities that we want to see flourish in our society. The Elos Philosophy summarizes some of the qualities that already weave a more cooperative, loving and sustainable society. AMAZING!

It is wonderful to see that meaningful learning brings pieces together like a huge puzzle. I am a teacher and I have never stopped studying, but the contact with the Elos Philosophy allowed me the satisfaction of bringing together all the knowledge experienced throughout my family and school education. I have worked with OASIS in schools in my region and I am finding it very amusing to make the connections of knowledge and build a new way of living.

Even after 26 years of working with communities, it was innovative to partake this course - which I recommend to everyone. Elos' working model shows that anything is possible! We left the discourse and went to practice, uniting people of different nationalities and realities for a common goal.

I learned that bringing community participation is essential to achieve efficient results. It is remarkable to see that the community I worked on continues to develop what was done during our hands on.

What impacted me the most was the presence of children in the community, and the difference that this work can make in their lives. It brings a different perspective to the lives of these children, shows that they can go further. They will have seen different people, from different languages working together. The power of a collective dream.
