Our Approach

The time you spend with your own team is extremely valuable.

We therefore ask questions first, listen deeply, and seek to understand your unique context and needs, in order to then jointly set an intention. Following the principle of “form follows function”, we can then bring in our expertise to give shape to your event and bring your purpose to life.

We do this by:

Starting with conversations to clarify your “why” behind the event and your intention. If helpful and desired, we can also apply assessments from our regenerative approach to measurement and evaluation (learn more -> jump).
Setting up or fine-tuning existing session plans and agendas, including the overall design, as well as shaping specific components and exercises.
Holding regular sessions with you to finalise the preparation.
Facilitating or moderating the event, or covering other roles needed to create the best possible experience for you.
Closing with a debrief conversation to reflect on lessons learnt and to support your internal capacity building.

The session with the Unity Effect team was a fantastic and engaging experience. Professionalism mixed with authenticity and naturalness of the facilitator, spiced up with a sense of humour, connectivity and fun activities during the session is what you can count on!

Our first digital NachhaltigkeitsCamp Bonn was an experiment for us. Unity Effect was a strong partner during our learning journey. Their mindful approach to groups, the many fresh ideas to work and interact with the participants, and the support during the event, contributed to a successful NachhaltigkeitsCamp. And granted us many happy faces.

The Kofi Annan Foundation enjoyed collaborating with Unity Effect for its Kofi Annan Changemakers initiative and greatly benefited from Emily’s facilitation skills and caring attitude. She brought innovative formats while preserving the core spirit of the initiative and was friendly and collaborative throughout the planning and delivery of the programme. On request of the organizing team, Unity Effect also conducted an impact evaluation of the programme, providing valuable information and suggestions that will further support the initiative’s growth and positive impact on its young changemakers.
