We are dreamers -
but dreamers with a vision.

And because we are hardworking and persistent, we keep turning that vision into reality.

We are Sovi

We connect educators, trainers, teachers, professors, and facilitators who lead learning processes.

We test and develop innovative learning methods, create didactic tools, and bring non-formal education practices into the school system, to organisation, bussiness and the field of youth work.

We foster international collaboration, encourage community-based youth work, and cultivate spaces for peer-to-peer learning - where educators and young people learn from one another, exchange ideas, and share best practices.

We believe in the power of working together. That’s why we build connections and grow SOVI as a community where collaboration shapes a better tomorrow.

SOVI Mission

With respect, kindness, expertise, thoughtfulness, and a gentleness, we connect educators, explore innovative methods, develop didactic tools, and strengthen international partnerships. All for a more modern, more effective, and more connected approach to education.

SOVI vision

To become a dynamic hub where innovative non-formal education practices find their way into the school system, while also building stronger connections between educators, young people, and the wider community – for more inclusive and forward-thinking learning approaches.

Team

Behind every idea, method, SOVI activity and perspective on education - there’s us. We’re a diverse team, united by a shared vision - to create more effective approaches to learning. Each of us contributes valuable knowledge, experience and passion. We occasionally expand our team so we can keep building SOVI - a safe, creative, and inspiring space for everyone who teaches and loves to learn.
