Description
“Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at.” —Anon
The 21st century brings more change and uncertainty than any age before.
Preparing for the this century can only be done by preparing for handling everything we don’t know yet. One main change with the past is the predominant presence and accessibility of information in all areas of live and society. Acquiring knowledge, for that reason, can not be an goal by itself anymore. Managing different perspectives and the ability to relate to them is crucial.
Throughout the classes runs your own impact project which you will be working on in small groups. The classes aim to support the development of the impact project through personal development. We will explain, introduce, reflect and evaluate on both life questions as well as the progression of the impact project.
We will investigate your values, assumptions and habits in order to strengthen your empathetic, ethical and expressive qualities.
