Start Small

Any creative endeavour can generate a certain amount of anxiety. The first step is always the hardest… has anyone not heard that before?

In his book ‘Being Creative’, Michael Avatar suggests that we draw inspiration from the Zen Buddhist idea of the 'beginner's mind' - where everything is beginning. In a beginner's mind there is possibility, openness, curiosity: all qualities that are useful for an exploration of creativity. This activity is a short, grounding ideation and exploration that taps into the beginner's mind.

Get the Job

This activity aims to help the target group get better understanding on the basics of writing a professional CV. It is important for participants to know how to acknowledge and extract different aspects of their personality and experience and put it in their CV in the form of skills and competencies, so they are relevant for the desired position.

This can support you to track your successes, your

development and thus, help you to write meaningful cv and hopefully present yourself well on an interview.

Bring out the unconscious experience to a conscious level, and shape it in the form of specific skills and competencies, so you can build on them.
