REALMS OF THE FUTURE
An online philosophical seminar for teens that will help participants develop critical and creative thinking skills, form goals for the future and define their life path
Context
Adolescence is the time when we are looking for our place in this world, form goals for adulthood, and think about the issues of life purpose. It is a period that shapes us as a person. Often teens are left alone with questions that worry them, and they need to look for answers on their own.
The mission of the project is to help teenagers find themselves, form a worldview and enlist the support of like-minded people from every corner of Ukraine. During the seminar, participants receive motivation for self-development, form goals for the future, with the participation of moderators, they will discuss with their peers the challenges they face every day: choosing a future profession, relationships in the family and society, defending their position.
At the philosophical seminar, participants:
- discuss topics that concern them: vocation in life, love, dignity, happiness, moral values. Participants will receive a collection of materials for a preliminary introduction to topics through classical philosophical texts and biographies of leaders;
- together with the moderators, they will conduct a dialogue, review educational videos and films, analyze philosophical texts, consider practical assignments;
- will meet with guests who will share their story of achievements and defeats, talk about the values and rules that govern in life;
