Course structure
Session 1 – Who Am I? Understanding Yourself
Discover your uniqueness, talents, and strengths. Participate in an engaging icebreaker game and explore your self-esteem. We’ll use gentle diagnostic tools such as metaphorical cards or visual imagery to better understand yourself.
Session 2 – The Inner World of a Teen
Explore your emotions, fears, and inner critic. Learn what’s normal for your age and why feeling “weird” or “anxious” is okay. You’ll be guided through self-support practices in a safe and accepting space.
Session 3 – Me and the World Around
Understand how to build healthy relationships with others — parents, friends, teachers. Explore who you are within these social systems through the interactive “Map of the World” game focused on social roles.
Session 4 – Calling vs Career
What is a true calling, and how does it differ from a job or hobby? We’ll look at different life paths and complete the “Ideal Future Day” exercise to help envision your unique journey.
Session 5 – Choosing Your Dream Career
Dive into the world of professions and learn how not to feel lost in it. Participate in career orientation practices to explore your personality type, interests, and thinking style. We’ll also use visualization and planning tools.
Session 6 – How Not to Be Afraid to Live
Work through common fears — fear of the future, failure, or judgment. You’ll uncover and shift limiting beliefs, and practice a confidence-boosting meditation or body-centered technique.
Session 7 – Facing the Future
Create your personal future project — who do you want to become, and where are you heading? You’ll receive support, discover your resources, and map out the steps forward. You’ll also design a “Future Map” or a mini business card: “Me in 202_.”
Session 8 – Final Meeting and Support
Present your personal project and receive thoughtful, supportive feedback from the facilitators. You’ll receive a certificate and a curated list of helpful books, courses, and films. The course ends with a powerful reflection exercise: writing a “Letter to My Future Self.”
Sell with confidence – success guaranteed!
