Module “What do you live by? Me. You. We.”

Teacher Dr. Jurga Misiūnienė

Objectives

  1. To strengthen the perception of oneself, others, and oneself among others by examining topics of psychology relevant to students.
  2. To develop skills of disclosure and tolerance for the opinions of others.

Topics

  1. I know myself. Do you really?
  2. You (don’t) care about me!
  3. We cannot live without others…
  4. The self inside and out: the gift of disclosure.

Expected result: The main result of the module is the deepening of students’ social competences related to the ability to reveal themselves in communication and accept themselves and others as they are. For this purpose, in the first session, the gaze will be directed at oneself (“I”), in the second session – the people among whom we live (,,YOU“), and in the third – to our roles in communication and cooperation (“WE“). Broad topics provide direction for the discussion, allow students to choose specific subtopics that would correspond to their daily lives and be relevant. Thanks to active methods, participants are invited to raise questions, share their own and uncritically accept the opinions, views and beliefs of others. During the last meeting, students are assigned a creative task: to create a box that reflects the internal and external characteristics of the personality. This will require summarizing the insights gained in the sessions, employing imagination and using various tools that can be found in the classroom and outdoors.
