PPFO100 Personal Development

The course will contribute to the participants' personal development. We will take as our starting point topics that are relevant to life as a student and further into the profession, such as making important choices, searching for identity and self-image, developing relationships with others and with the physical environment, and finding context in life. The questions we address will be elucidated with theories and concepts from the professional literature and with motifs from the arts. The purpose is for the participants to be able to influence factors that are important for their mental state and personal growth. An important skill to have is to be able to stay in your center when you are exposed to stress. We will work with exercises based on movement, meditation, focusing, visual expressions, inner dialogue, and writing to process experiences. In this way, the course will also contribute to competence to be able to stand steadily in meeting other people in challenging mental situations, for example as a mentor, supervisor, colleague or in other roles where one is to assist people.
