Our Story 

ÆRAS DEVELOPMENT GROUP is the epitome of our development philosophy and lifestyle.  

Established in 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland, it accumulates our own knowledge and experience throughout our professional æras and across the continents in three distinct æreas of work we feel passionate and proud about: health, education, and heritage

We are honored to partner with the best experts in their respective areas that bring exclusive technical knowledge combined with vast networks of collaborators around the world. We are multilingual and aware of multi-cultural approaches. 

We are proud to serve people, in particular the ones that most need love and support: children, adolescents, people who found themselves in difficult life circumstances: indigenous communities, immigrants, orphans, people left behind. 

Our goal is to research and preserve the best available evidence to create a legacy capturing the essence of knowledge across time æras and to inspire future progress for a harmonious development of human capital. 

Our Philosophy  

Our philosophy is person-centered and is rooted in the traditions of humanism powered by the life course approach that is seen as a continuum of æras in life for interventions that can shape subsequent periods of human and community development.

 

Everything we do here is informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by empathy. We believe that knowledge and power come from people in harmony with the environment in which they live and is created from the moment a child takes their first breath to thrive further through adolescence and adulthood.

 

We employ the best of public health, education, and heritage tools to help operationalize this concept.
