WYDE - The Connective School

Ideas change when they begin to circulate. As they pass from hand to hand, they transform, lose coherence, and find new directions that were not visible at the beginning.

“Collective Sparks” is one of the exercises from the Wyde Atlas, the agenda that supports our work with teams and organizations and creates a space where creativity takes shape as a shared process.

There is a paradox at the heart of modern knowledge. The more information we produce, the harder it becomes to connect it.

We specialize, deepen, refine. Yet each field often develops its own language, methods, and assumptions, making dialogue across disciplines more difficult. The result is what Edgar Morin described years ago: a growing inability to see the whole. This is why Morin argued for a well-made head (tête bien faite) rather than a head simply filled with knowledge.

A well-made head knows how to connect. It recognizes relationships, patterns, interdependencies. It moves between perspectives without reducing complexity to something simplistic. In organizations, this matters more than ever.

Challenges rarely arrive neatly packaged within a single discipline. They involve people, culture, strategy, technology, emotions, markets, and systems interacting at the same time. Complexity is a condition to navigate. As Morin reminds us, complexity is less about finding the answer and more about learning how to stay with the question.

At Wyde, this belief shapes the way we work. We bring together different disciplines, experiences and ways of knowing because meaningful transformation rarely emerges from a single point of view. Innovation begins when connections become visible.

Inside a terrarium, different elements learn how to support one another: soil nourishes, roots search for space, light gives strength, humidity regulates balance and almost invisible organisms keep the entire system alive. Nothing grows alone.

When we work with young people, we start from here. From the possibility of creating a space where what already exists can take shape and recognize itself.

In collaboration with Alice Delgrosso’s project dedicated to plant culture and the intelligence of nature, participants build a real terrarium. Through that slow, hands-on gesture, people begin to see that growing means finding their own way of staying alive within an ecosystem.

At the end of the day, the terrarium goes home with the person who created it. Small, alive, constantly transforming.

Just like many of the questions that begin to open up during the journey.

Bees work in silence and in connection. They build something greater than any one of them. They care for the hive and, in doing so, care for the world around them. That’s what we aspire to, every day, through our work.

Today, World Bee Day, feels like the right moment to share something close to our hearts. In 2025, we supported 4,400 bees through our partnership with . It’s a choice we renew each year, because we believe that protecting biodiversity means caring for an ecosystem exactly what we do within the organisations we work with.

And we didn’t stop there. We planted 600 trees, one for every training programme we delivered and measured our emissions for the first time to understand where our impact lies and how to shape it.

These are just some of the gestures we share in our 2025 Impact Report. Want to know more?

The organisations that last are the ones that leave something in the people who move through them. This question surfaces where the real value of a company lies.

People arrive with questions, expectations, sometimes urgency. They leave with tools, new perspectives, conversations that remain open. Since last year, they also carry something more simple and tangible: seeds to plant.

In collaboration with .seeds we chose to accompany our journeys with a gesture that continues over time. A seed that passes from hand to hand, finds soil, grows elsewhere. A way to hold together learning and care, presence and future.

This gesture is part of a commitment that has taken shape more and more clearly over the years. With in 2025 we turned our work into a concrete action: 600 trees planted from 588 courses delivered. With we continue to support reforestation projects in different parts of the world, contributing to the regeneration of ecosystems and the growth of local communities that take care of them over time.

The seeds we share today are an invitation to care for something that grows slowly, that requires attention, that changes with the seasons.

Every experience leaves a trace. Some appear immediately, others need time, light, space. We continue to cultivate them.

Simona Gonella brings to Wyde a presence that holds together stage and life, voice and listening, body and thought. Her work begins in the theater and moves through people, in the moments when something emerges and takes shape.

What animal are you in your team?

Metaphors often speak without needing many words. A small exercise to bring out qualities that usually remain implicit. Choose an animal for yourself and then try to look at others through that same language.
