Association Ngehus was founded in 2015 with a clear vision: to place the knowledge and tools of social psychology and human sciences at the service of human and community-oriented projects. Our association is based in Lyon, France, and has been committed from its inception to fostering sustainable change, promoting social solidarity, and supporting initiatives that prioritize the human dimension in organizations and communities.
At the heart of our work is the belief that meaningful and lasting transformation begins with understanding human behavior, social dynamics, and the ways in which individuals interact within groups and systems. We recognize that every organization, community, and project is unique, with its own challenges, goals, and potential. By integrating scientific knowledge with practical experience, we aim to provide guidance and support that is both evidence-based and tailored to the specific context of each project we engage with.
Our team is composed of experts in social psychology, human sciences, and organizational development. Each member brings a wealth of experience in research, training, consultancy, and applied projects. Together, we form a multidisciplinary collective capable of approaching complex challenges from multiple angles. This diversity allows us to develop holistic solutions that address both the structural and human aspects of change, ensuring that interventions are not only effective but also ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.
Since our founding, Association Ngehus has focused on three primary pillars: training, accompaniment, and advisory services. Our training programs are designed to equip individuals, teams, and organizations with knowledge and skills that empower them to understand and influence social dynamics effectively. These programs cover topics such as group behavior, leadership, conflict resolution, organizational culture, and community engagement. We believe that education and continuous learning are crucial for fostering resilience, adaptability, and social responsibility.
In addition to training, we provide accompaniment services, guiding organizations and communities through processes of reflection, assessment, and transformation. This can include facilitating workshops, conducting needs analyses, designing intervention strategies, and supporting teams as they implement change initiatives. Our approach is collaborative, ensuring that stakeholders are actively involved in shaping solutions that meet their needs and align with their values. By accompanying our partners throughout the change process, we help ensure that interventions are not only implemented but also internalized and sustained over time.
Our advisory services complement our training and accompaniment work by providing strategic insight and guidance to organizations and projects seeking to enhance their human and social impact. We work closely with project leaders, managers, and policymakers to identify challenges, develop evidence-based strategies, and design interventions that are both practical and innovative. Our goal is to help organizations maximize their positive influence while fostering environments that promote well-being, cooperation, and social responsibility.
At Association Ngehus, we are committed to social solidarity. We believe that knowledge should be applied for the common good, and that every project we engage with should contribute to a more equitable, inclusive, and resilient society. This commitment guides our choices, shapes our methods, and inspires us to support initiatives that prioritize human dignity, collaboration, and social cohesion. Whether working with public institutions, private organizations, community groups, or individual leaders, our focus remains on promoting approaches that are human-centered and socially responsible.
Our work is guided by a set of core values that define who we are and how we operate:
- Human-Centered Approach: We prioritize the needs, experiences, and perspectives of people in all our projects. Understanding human behavior is at the core of what we do.
- Collaboration: We believe that sustainable change is achieved through cooperation, dialogue, and collective effort.
- Integrity: We operate with transparency, honesty, and ethical rigor in every aspect of our work.
- Innovation: We combine scientific knowledge with creative problem-solving to develop strategies that are both effective and adaptive to evolving challenges.
- Sustainability: We focus on interventions that produce long-term benefits for individuals, organizations, and communities.
Over the years, Association Ngehus has partnered with a wide range of stakeholders, including local authorities, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and community groups. These collaborations have allowed us to implement projects that address social challenges, enhance organizational capacities, and strengthen community ties. From workshops on leadership and teamwork to advisory projects on organizational change, each initiative reflects our commitment to applying knowledge in practical, meaningful ways.
We are particularly proud of our role in promoting awareness and understanding of social dynamics within organizations and communities. Many challenges in human systems—such as conflict, disengagement, or inefficiency—can be traced to gaps in understanding how people interact, communicate, and respond to change. By providing evidence-based insights and guidance, we help organizations and communities address these challenges proactively, fostering environments where individuals feel heard, valued, and motivated to contribute positively.
Our association also places strong emphasis on capacity building. We do not aim merely to offer solutions but to empower people and organizations to develop their own capabilities. By sharing knowledge, tools, and strategies, we enable stakeholders to continue fostering positive change independently, ensuring that the impact of our work extends far beyond the immediate projects we undertake.
At Association Ngehus, we believe that meaningful change is both possible and necessary. In a world facing complex social, organizational, and environmental challenges, we see our mission as helping to bridge the gap between human potential and practical action. We are guided by a deep conviction that every individual, team, and community has the capacity to learn, grow, and contribute to a more just, compassionate, and resilient society.
As we look to the future, our commitment remains steadfast: to continue applying the principles of social psychology and human sciences to projects that matter, to collaborate with organizations and communities in pursuit of meaningful transformation, and to contribute to a society where solidarity, understanding, and human dignity are at the forefront of collective action.
In summary, Association Ngehus is more than an organization; it is a hub of expertise, knowledge, and human-centered practice dedicated to creating sustainable and profound impact. We are committed to supporting initiatives that foster social cohesion, strengthen organizations, and empower individuals. Through training, guidance, and strategic advice, we work every day to ensure that human potential is recognized, nurtured, and mobilized for the benefit of all.
