The National Training Laboratories were founded in 1947 by Kurt Lewin in Bethel, Maine, USA. It exists to 'strengthen relationships and organizations by fostering self-awareness and interpersonal, group and system effectiveness'.
According to the official website: "Kurt Lewin, founder of modern social psychology, designed an experiment in group relations in the 1940s. That experiment provided the scientific basis for NTL Institute’s approach to learning. This approach achieves increased awareness of self and others through facilitated group dialogue that advocates open-minded appreciation and inclusion of differences.
From the very beginning, much of the theory and practice that presently underlies the professional field of organization development was created and has been taught around the world by NTL members.
Founded in 1947, NTL Institute, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia with a facility in Bethel, Maine, is a not-for-profit educational company of members and staff whose purpose is to advance the field of applied behavioral sciences and to develop change agents for effective leadership for organizations of all variety."
