The Story
ViewsUnlimited has its roots in event hosting. Amid the Arab Spring in 2011, the very first project involved organising and moderating a public dialogue in the heart of Cairo, Egypt, in partnership with the Masterpeace foundation.
In a country scattered by disappointment, divide and desperation, people from all walks of life learned about South Africa’s transition to democracy, the relentless work of the Truth & Reconciliation Committee and discussed the future of post-revolution Egypt.
Building on this experience, ViewsUnlimited expanded specialism in human behaviour as an organisational learning & development provider. With a global footprint and strong presence in the Middle East, ViewsUnlimited has built a reputation on providing engaging high-impact programmes to clients in the areas of Finance & Technology, FMCG, Academic institutions, Governments and International Organisations.
