Dada Lokeshananda gave a workshop, via internet video, to participants of the AMGK global meeting on the IDEO System which is about how to be more effective in getting people involved in activities and projects. It is a long-term educational approach for bringing your educational services to maximum number of people. This approach works if you are in charge of a project and if you require the cooperation of other people in one way or another.
