Establishment of an online training course

Mika is completely distraught. She has withdrawn completely and does not want to play with anyone in kindergarten. Everyone laughed at her when she shouted out loudly at lunch: “This soup tastes wonderfully blue.” For her, this is absolutely normal. Mika does have a form of synesthesia. When she tastes, she also perceives colours. This is a natural talent. 

One of the many tasks of the Deutsche Synästhesie-Gesellschaft e. V., DSG, (German Synaesthesia Society) is to help to correctly assess such a talent and thus to further enable a positive attitude towards synaesthesia. Synaesthesia is a neurological variant in which the stimulation of one sense evokes a simultaneous further sensory perception. Further examples: There are people who sense colours and forms simultaneously while listening to music. Some can perceive numbers in colours and arranged in an inner space. Synaesthesia, however, is much more extensive, individual and complex. 

The Deutsche Synästhesie-Gesellschaft e. V. (DSG) is currently working on the world's first online training on the gift of synaesthesia! The aim of this training is to provide a sound and comprehensive insight into synaesthesia. If the participants successfully pass the examination, a certificate with the title: "Specialised in the gift: synaesthesia" can be issued. 

This training is specialised for professionals from the psychological, educational and general social sectors. People who have this perception themselves or are interested in it may of course also attend the training and benefit from the instructive content. 

In order to implement the project, e. g. to finalise scientifically based training material and to carry out the technical implementation of the training, the association needs financial resources. Therefore we are asking for donations! On our website, donors of 500 euros or more are named as sponsors of this project, if desired. Just get in touch with us for this! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every (even smaller) amount! Our contact details and further information can be found on our website at www.synaesthesie.org.
