ProMayo.be - “Cold head, warm heart…”

We are international collective of creative grass-root minded human beings, willing to inspire, train and support people and organisations to think positive, love change and to play with the world around us. ProMayo.be is a training and expertise service, specialised in diversity, creativity-development and social-cultural entrepreneurship is using cine?Palace as it’s laboratory. (cine?Palace is an open creative intercultural centre in the city of Kortrijk, Belgium)

“Why fight against the world you live in, or get stuck in fears, dogmas or “Yes, but…”? Go out and play!”

Taking things in own hands and creating the world we want to live in. To do… even if it’s not always ‘allowed’. Doing things different and looking to things from another perspective. Playing, not being afraid to fail, express yourself, taking initiative, do-it-yourself…

DREAM about a wonderfull world, be creative, wacko or crazy, everything is possible. In minds ideas get born.

DARE to fail, jump into new things, enjoy change, learn to surf turbulent waters.

DO the things you want! Take responsibility in your own hands and face your challenges.

“Live NOW, not in the past, nor the future. Today is a gift, that’s why they call it ‘present’.”

ProMayo.be Idea° - “No golf terrains, but parties”

Informal moments are very important in our work. Most of our meetings never take place around a formal table, but in cafe?s, streets, during coffeebreaks or other non-common environments. And if they are formal, some strange surprises might happen.

“ProMayo was born at the beach in Landrelec, Bretagne (FR). A hot stormy night, pink and orange sky, the sound of thunder far away, old ships at the shore and small waves hitting rocks. Some bottles of wine and a very long night…”

ProMayo.be Inspire° – “Sharing makes us bigger…”

Move others and be moved. Knowledge, good practices and ideas are creative commons, they belong to everyone. ProMayo.be sees itself as an open network and isn’t afraid to ‘steal’ good ideas and invites people to ‘steal’ from us. If you give to the universe, universe can surprise you back.

“Let it in, let it be, let it go”

ProMayo.be Lab° - “Bringing minds and hands together…”

What are good ideas if we can’t try them out? Thats what the Lab° is all about. Somethimes we fail, but we get inspired or move others. We love serendipity, challenges and strange mixes: an open creative intercultural centre, camels in the swiss alps, roadtrips to abandoned places, streetinterventions and many more.

“Serendipity: discovering something unexpected and usefull, while trying to find something else…”

ProMayo.be Xperience° - “Playing to learn, learning to play…”

If you think playing is childish, go back to kindergarthen. Using different experiences, strange surprises and trainings we aim to spread a creative mindset around the globe. Creative advice, advanced trainingcourses on creativity and innovation, change, motivation, social-creative entrepreneurship, creative activism, international exchanges and many more.
