Program and session design
We design learning programs and training sessions defining clear learning objectives and prioritizing experiential and participant-centered methodologies that allow for inclusion and foster engagement.
Designing learning experiences that put learners at the center.
Learning journeys design and implementation
We design and manage the implementation of virtual, in-person and blended learning journeys using hands-on tools that allow you to accompany and evaluate the learning experiences.
Methodology review
We support you in assessing the effectiveness of your learning program or approach, making suggestions on new tools and methodologies and helping to transition between virtual, blended and in-person formats.
Competency mapping
We have a tested methodology to design competence frameworks which uses a collaborative approach, allowing you to get a better grasp of the transformation you are hoping to achieve with your learning initiatives.
Our values in Learning Design:
Our philosophy is "meaningful and transformative learning experiences, whether face-to-face, online or hybrid".
Accessibility and inclusion
We strive to create learning opportunities that are accessible and inclusive to everyone, on different levels. In order to do that, we seek to understand potential barriers for access and work actively to remove them. That includes, but is not limited to, using accessible platforms and tools, employing diverse learning methods and styles, developing new paths and ideas, and, most importantly, continuously learning about the topic.
Purpose and people at the centre
Before starting to design any learning experience, we focus on understanding who are the people involved and what needs they have. These two elements guide us in defining the learning goals and methods that will be used, allowing us to have a human-centred approach.
Agency and autonomy
We design learning experiences for adults and are committed to creating space for agency and self-direction. Nobody should be forced to learn at a pace or in a way that doesn’t work for them. We believe in personalised experiences that allow learners to choose their learning objectives and the paths they want to follow. Our role is to offer space, structure and support for these paths in a way that increases people’s engagement.
Human connection
We deeply believe that for meaningful learning to happen, people need to feel safe. That is why we focus on building a sense of trust, joyfulness and connection. It’s from this foundation that groups and individuals can explore their curiosities and reach new levels of development.

Here’s what some
of our clients say:
Working with Instituto NOW was excellent from the beginning. Briefings, punctual and objective meetings, all delivered on time. Ah, the world needs more teams like this! They understood our demands and the changes we were proposing along the way and added a lot to them. The Instituto NOW team had the creativity and technical knowledge to guide us in the construction of our event.”
