Course objectives
Circle is a meeting, where we can share our ideas and life experience and also listen to other people in safe, non-judging and accepting atmosphere. Circle is not therapeutic group, we dont recommend to open personally difficult themes in the circle. Circle is space with clear rules where we can be trully ourselves, speak "from hearth" and inspire ourselves together. Aim is to facilitate a self-growth and self-knowledge throught understanding of discussed character virtues and values (e.g. love, responsibility...), inspiration, and throught developement of specific psychological competences (self-reflection, verbalization ability, listening, respect and esteem, leadership...).
Learning outcomes
Student will be able at the end of course: Higher self-reflection and verbalisation - better listen to others - more respect and non-judging, so more accept others as they are - leadership in cricle activities.
