The merger of two strong language brands - Petrasso from Nitra and Harmony Academy from Trnava - is a reality. After 24 years, Sonia Gése, the founder and long-time leader of Petrasso, is taking her story further and becoming part of Harmony Academy. The result? New energy, broader opportunities and an even greater quality of education in the region.
When values, vision and heart meet
"The idea of working with Harmony Academy has been maturing in me for a long time. I had been following their work for a long time and felt that our visions had the same direction. The decision to join forces was a natural one - when values, experience and a shared passion for education come together, something special is created," says Sonia.
Bringing the schools together brings clients a great advantage: a unique combination of tradition and innovation. Harmony Academy and Petrasso share a student-centred approach - the foundation of any quality education. And this is where Sonia sees strength.
"I want to further develop what I've been doing for years - educating, inspiring and helping people grow. At Harmony Academy, I have the space to teach, lead and innovate - as a Trainer, Trainer and Developer."
What does the founder of Harmony Academy, Jana Chynoradská, have to say about this connection?
"I met Sonia in May 2018 at a conference in Žilina, where we presented the Happy School 2020 project. I clearly remember her bright eyes and the enthusiasm that radiated from her. Over the years, as she gradually became more and more connected to this vision, I recognized in her a person of strong values, based on love for people, learning and lifelong education.
Today Sonia is one of the key members of the Harmony team. Through her example, she can inspire others to embark on a journey where they see a clear, innovative, ambitious and inspiring vision."
A new chapter also for Nitra
Harmony Academy's arrival in Nitra together with Sonia means a new wave of quality language courses, professional and development training, trainings for companies and educators and unique tailor-made projects. You can expect greater accessibility of services, new formats and an approach that turns classical learning into an experience.
"Petrasso will always be a part of me - it was my school of life. But now it's time for a new chapter. I am combining 24 years of experience with a team that is going in the same direction - forward," says Sonia Gése.
Sonia and Harmony Academy - a connection that has a future. And it is just beginning in Nitra.
