Post-Training Update (Ergosteel)

Last month we had the pleasure of delivering our “Experiential Training on Sustainability and Introduction to LEED” to one of the leading construction companies in Greece, Ergosteel, with people joining from different regions and construction sites across Greece. Although experiential learning is always more powerful in person, the online format allowed us to bring together people who otherwise would not have been able to participate.

The training combined small-group experiential exercises with introductory LEED theory. Our intention was simple: to help participants reconnect with something they already know deep inside — that sustainability is not just technical; it is profoundly human.

One of the most meaningful pieces of feedback we received was exactly this realization:

I understood, maybe for the first time, that sustainability carries a human side. It’s not only about standards, but about how we think, collaborate and show up.

Another participant shared that this was the best online training they had ever attended. We believe this speaks to the power of the small-group interactions. At first, these exercises can feel unusual or even slightly uncomfortable. But once people lean in, something remarkable happens:

• conversations deepen

• connections form

• ideas start to weave together naturally

In the day-to-day pace of our professional roles, people often hesitate to speak openly — sometimes out of fear of being judged or misunderstood. This can create distance and disconnection within teams. Experiential training helps open that space again. It allows participants to show up more fully, to think systemically, and to express themselves with greater confidence and authenticity.

At BIO-SY-MO, this is exactly what we hope to cultivate: learning that bridges the technical with the human, and brings sustainability to life in a way that feels real, grounded, and shared.

We look forward to continuing these trainings and creating more opportunities for meaningful dialogue and collective growth. Continuing our mission: Bridging Our Built Environment with Earth.
