MOVE! Passion for Learning, Learning for Passion

‘Follow your heart!’ is an often-heard advice. What does that mean? What is my passion? What moves me? Can I just follow that? The main focus of this training course is the exploration of the connection between passion and learning. In discussions about learning the importance of finding your passion as a driving force for your learning is often mentioned. We believe strongly that the connection between passions and learning is crucial for being a life-long learner. In this course we want to explore the implications of that connection for as well learners as facilitators of learning. For learners there is the big challenge to find their passion(s), to get aware about what drives them, to know their talents and strengths. To be a life-long learner and to obtain the therefore necessary competence to direct your own learning it is crucial to make your own choices for the learning path you want to follow. Which is not an easy task in a fast changing world that seems to offer an unlimited amount of possibilities. This all put new demands on learners. At the same time facilitators of learning have to be able to assist learners in the process of finding their passion and setting out their learning paths. In the training course the topic will be dealt with using self-directed learning to enable you to take responsibility for your learning. You decide what, when and how you want to learn. Objectives of the course: - to explore the concept of passion and its' relevance for learning - to support participants in the course to discover their own passions(s) and talents - to explore the connection between your passion and your own learning - to explore facilitation concepts that support learners to unlock their passions - to support participants to implement the outcomes of the course in their daily practice
