  • Orientation week

    The orientation week will help you understand what this course has to offer and what kind of wishes you might have regarding the course. In addition, you get to think about what you could do yourself to make it possible for the course to serve your needs as well as possible.

    After this orientation week, the course has six actual themes that change every week. Explore the themes and think about what they evoke in you - thoughts, feelings, images, past experiences? Maybe one theme speaks to you more than another? It may be that some of them sound familiar to you, and some are newer. You may already have a lot training in some, and maybe some of them are only familiar in theory, not in practice. Perhaps you are interested in what other students think about these topics and hopefully you are already waiting to hear in group meetings whether they have similar or very different thoughts and experiences!



    Instructions for the pre-assignment


    Note that only students who have submitted the pre-assignment are accepted on the following course weeks and will be allocated in peer groups. Therefore, please do submit the pre-assignment in time; the deadline is on Sunday 14.1.24 at 8 p.m.! Prepare to start doing the pre-assignment well in advance and book plenty of time for it.

    Glance through the course week titles from the picture above: which of them make you think and why? Read also with thought the "course manual" for a sustainable change. Then, answer the questions below in informal text.

    Answer the questions in text form, by for example writing a short essay, a poem, a column or notes with bullet points. The main point is to take some time and stop to reflect personally on the topics. Submit your answer in the submission box below. Only course teachers can see your answer, not other students. Please not include any confidential personal information such as time of birth, social security number of health information.

    • Describe yourself as a student right now. What are you like as a student? What kinds of challenges do you have or have had as a student? What, in turn, works well?
    • What do you want to learn and experience in this upcoming course? What would you like to change during the course?
    • You will meet your peer group on every course week and discuss course themes together. What (kinds of) expectations or wishes do you have for the peer group work and how are you going to make fruitful and functional peer group discussions possible on your own part?
