Skills you’ll learn
‘There are many things humans can design. But the greatest form of design is to become the designer of your own life.’
This module is different, out-of-the-box, out-of-comfort, experimental, inward-looking, demanding, hopefully transformational. We will address very basic questions like: who am I, what is life! The course is in essence about basic life navigation skills. We will learn and reflect about our life and identity. In this module we will deal with the ‘elephant in the room’ – ourselves (our fears, doubts, emotions etc.) and whatever might help us to navigate more balanced, more forceful and more satisfied through life. We will study and learn different philosophical concepts, always applying them to our life. The module requires commitment, discipline, openness, curiosity and vulnerability.

If you have no questions towards life, then this is not for you! This course requires high curiosity, a seeker’s mindset, full commitment, and a desire to learn more about life. I invite you to be open, vulnerable, listen and share! The more you open up the more you will get out. This course is aimed at transforming the experience you will have in your (university) life. Additional class/group work is required and will be distributed. Please bring an A4 booklet (kind of notepad but please binded and not loose papers) with you on the first day. This will be your ‘life cookbook’. Disclaimer: This course has never been taught anywhere. It is specially designed and put together for Harbour Space students.
Combination of theoretical input and practical application. We will be having lectures, videos, power circles, self-assessments, individual and group reflections, self-learning & reading. We will continuously do exercises to bring relevance to the provided knowledge and tools and maximise insights and learning.
