Creation and Origins of Step and Go

Since 1992, the trainers and contributors of the Objectif Sciences International NGO have developed a large number of cross-disciplinary training programs in methodology, management, self-awareness, project development, and many other key areas for an organization.

Ten years later, between 2000 and 2005, the idea emerged to provide all these skills to other organizations that could benefit from them.

The NGO Objectif Sciences International, which holds Special Consultative Status with the UN ECOSOC, thus supported the creation of the Step and Go team and the Smart Training for Development association, which manages the Step and Go brand. The goal is to give as many individual and professional stakeholders as possible access to all these skills essential for their development.

Training for Development – For What Kind of Development?

The concept of "Training for Development" represents an integrated and transdisciplinary approach that simultaneously promotes personal fulfillment, business growth, the realization of impact projects, sustainable development, and the emergence of new ideas or opportunities, without being limited to a mere reinforcement of acquired skills through practice, lived experience, and real-life situations.

When soft skills training is combined with the adoption of nature-based solutions and techniques to enhance individual confidence and organizational efficiency, it creates a dynamic ecosystem that fosters innovation, reduces the carbon footprint, and promotes social empowerment.
