Courses Autumn 2018

Creative Living Abroad

Organized between 11th September 2018 and 23th October 2018.

Here’s what some course participants thought about the course:

It was incredible relief to have put into words the feelings I have been feeling all those years living here as a foreigner that are too hard to put into words for other people. And it all being presented in such a clear and structured way with scientific backing and explanations. Also, Oana’s naturally positive character and enthusiasm, genuine care and compassion provided a gem of a space for expressing those feelings, sharing with others, and also generating ideas for transforming one’s experience through positivity and creativity. The benefit is that in some way it was almost a healing process of some hardships of being a foreigner. Also, gaining interesting tools for transforming attitude, tools for further transformation. N. Aleksandrova

Wonderful group leader, new insights and interesting perspectives. H. Marstrander

Competence Course

Organized between 30th October 2018 and 4th December 2018.

Do you remember that I asked you the first class if I should apply to a dreamjob even if I don’t fulfil all the requirements. Well, I did, and even if I did not get that precise job it got me very much further in many ways. I started getting much more freelancejobs from this employer, and it seems like we will co-operate much closer than ever before. So it really pays off to apply even though you would not be completely qualified for a certain job.Thank you again for a thought-provoking and inspiring class. H. Johansson
The group discussions, discussions in pairs and the online tests. All of these gave good insight to my personal situation, and to my strengths and weaknesses. The course did not throw “the grand revelation” at my face, but it really helped. During the course I started to get some confirmation of the direction I want to take, at least for now. Just for your information, my boss asked me about 10 months ago what I would like to do professionally in an ideal situation – at the time I did not have an answer for him. Already during the course I could now give him an answer. One thing led to another and now I have a new title in that area – just a title, but it’s a start. Whether this is something I really want to do in the future is questionable, but like discussed in the course, it’s worth exploring, right? M. Majuri

I liked that I dived deeper into problems I didn’t realize I had and that I had that chance to think of myself once a week. I got curious about rediscovering myself and where to go professionally. D. Porumboiu

I just needed to get out of my current situation, I just didn’t see how. For me, the big idea came during and because of this course. In that sense, it changed my life. Thank you. K. Huhta
