Active Learning International (ALI) was founded in 1991 by Dr Carlos A. Raimundo in Sydney, Australia. Established as the umbrella organisation for his groundbreaking method, the Play of Life (originally known as Le Petit Psychodrama), ALI also serves as the foundation for future tools and innovations.
Since its inception, ALI has expanded to include (click on each title for more information):
The Play of Life
The Play of life method for fast transforming individual and groups behavior.
RCompass – Relational map
Visualising and taking control of your relational world
Enneagram with Mel
I describe the Enneagram not as a personality profile but more as a philosophy, a way of thinking that focuses on our why more than our how. It describes the lens with which we view the world.
Relationship Capital programs
Organisational coaching for individuals, teams, and organisations.
Fruit of the Spirit app (discontinued)
A personal diary to grow spiritually
What We Do
Active Learning International is a service and training organisation offering:
- Practical training tools for professionals in human services, education, leadership, and business coaching—helping them achieve greater effectiveness, fulfilment, and distinction in their work.
- Support for individuals seeking to enhance their lives, particularly in their relationships.
- Access to our Global Practitioner Registry, connecting seekers with accredited ALI practitioners (coming soon)
Our Approach
Our methods are rooted in contemporary neuroscience, psychodrama, psychology, and sociology. These tools accelerate insight and behavioural change by leveraging a “bottom-up” communication process in the brain. By directly engaging the emotional brain (the limbic system), we bypass defence mechanisms to create lasting change.
Our Tools
Our primary tools include:
- Play of Life
- RCompass
- Enneagram (with Melanie Raimundo)
Active Learning International is the only accredited training organisation for the Play of Life and RCompass.
