Towards the End of the Project

As your project is getting closer to the final days, this stage invites you to look back at what you’ve lived and learned in a short, but meaningful time. Even brief experiences can leave a strong impact, and reflecting now helps you gather the moments, skills, and insights that shaped you. It’s a chance to understand what this experience has meant for you and how it might influence your next steps, both personally and professionally.

Use the guiding questions below to explore your journey. They are here to help you recognise the moments that mattered most and the learning you want to carry forward.

Guiding questions:

  • Which moments or experiences had the biggest emotional impact on me?
  • How do I feel about this chapter coming to an end?
  • What will I take from this culture into my life moving forward?
  • What are three key skills I’ve developed here?
  • How would I describe what I’ve learned to a future employer or in a selection interview?
  • What kinds of work or roles do I feel more prepared for now?

Feel free to answer these questions in any format that works for you - notes, drawings, recordings, or a mix. If you want to explore your journey more deeply or organise your learning visually, you can choose one of the suggested reflection methods for this stage.

Ask yourself “What do I need right now?” and select a method if you want extra support:
