Learning and change are inextricably linked. When we learn - things change, and when things change we need to learn. There are few who would not accept that we are living in an increasingly complex and ever changing world. What is less clear is how we respond in this environment of continuous change.

Mango’s work is about building sustainable processes of individual and shared development as a means of increasing our ability to achieve the goals we set ourselves. We value the learning processes as much as the lessons we learn. This approach requires us to confront the beliefs, values and assumptions we hold (often without awareness) and challenges the ‘knee-jerk’ reactions that these produce.

All of our work is designed to support the development of emotional literacy, thinking skills and experiential learning. In practice it is characterised by:

• An acceptance of mistakes as a valuable and essential part of learning (breaking down the culture of blame).
• Inclusive processes – where dialogue, exploration and a climate of mutual respect prevail.
• Empowerment – building the capacity of individuals and groups to articulate and understand the problems they . face, identify effective solutions and develop sustainable responses

A growing sense of personal and mutual responsibility that leads to greater transparency and accountability.
