Covid is 'gone' and there is no need for remote management, remote work and remote teaching skills, right?
Wrong.
Remote work/management/teaching is here to stay in different variations.
We're finalizing the 2nd (of 3) year of the Virtual EDU Project.
The development of the training content & certification is almost finalized.
Now the hard part starts: upskilling of people.
That's why we're already gathering preliminary registrations for e-learning courses.
The project team met in Rijeka, Croatia in Dec. 2024 to plan the challenging year ahead.
P. S. Can you spot a new project team member in the picture?

Beyond comfort zone
A few days ago, @BICERO team attended the Beyond Zero event in Ljubljana, organized by IRDO for their 20th anniversary.
The main topic of the event was sustainability.
Sometimes we think everything related to sustainability are only empty words.
But, wait.
We had the opportunity to see the “Beyond zero” movie/documentary, which showed us that even the most unsustainable company can turn around and become a net-zero company.
Are we too late to allow the Earth to regenerate?
The last sentence in the documentary was “we ‘unintentionally’ destroyed the planet - imagine what we can do for the Earth, if we act intentionally”.
As hopeless romantics, we think we can do more if we stand together.
When is the right time to start? It was yesterday or better, 30 years ago.
Anyways, yesterday is gone, so we need to start now, not tomorrow.
@BICERO began with little steps contributing to sustainability and social responsibility 14 years ago by participating in:
SOCIRES project (2010-2012). We upskilled people in the ISO26000 topic.
LeadSUS project (2013-2015). We upskilled people in sustainability management.
TeachSUS project (2018-2020). We upskilled people in UN sustainable development goals.
We persist on this path with a new project: Train4ESG (2023-2026). The goal is to upskill investors in ESG topics to invest into more sustainable projects.
Stand with us. Do more. Step outside your comfort zone. Transforming yourself and the companies to be more sustainable is neither easy, pleasant or cheap. But we can not just stand and wait. We need to take action now.
Is there anything more gratifying than doing good for our planet and our children?

Towards ESG education for a better future
Last week, we organized a short live (and online) event in Maribor titled "Towards ESG education for a better future."
If you ever organised an event, you know that even a short, 3-hour event takes an enormous amount of preparation.
Funny, but in these times of climate emergency, society crisis and troubled governance we really struggled to spark interest and get enough participants.
But in the end, we gather the right participants. The people who care about our future. The people who have a knowledge of how to get there.
How do I know? Because the discussions about ESG-related issues and challenges were active, a bit heated, and overall, really satisfying.
I'm still digesting everything I heard.
Thanks to dynamic presenters (Roberta Lepre, Vaiva Grusniene, PhD, Anita Hrast) and especially, thanks to all who donated their precious time and came to the event.
And of course, Mateja Frangež Rozman who managed everything related to the organization of the event.
