The Institute of Development was established in 2003. The reasoning behind its establishment is that success in every person’s life is based on ensuring the balance among personal, family and professional development. We are passionately committed to help add value to individuals and organizations by developing knowledge, skills and attitudes that transform them in positive ways. Our vision is to improve wellbeing and achieve optimal human functioning through continuous personal and professional development and our mission is to empower individuals, organizations, and communities to flourish through evidence-based methods, including the principles of Positive Psychology and character education.

In order to be able to achieve that, it is of utmost importance that we firstly make sure that our practices come from a place of compassion and empathy.
