Ongoing (daily)

Now you are entering the most intense period of your project - everything in between the start and the finish :) This might look long now, especially with all the excitement along the way, but it will fly in a heartbeat. And you definitely do not want to miss important learning along the way!

This is why we designed 7 different reflection activities for you, to offer you a variety to choose from. You don’t have to do all of them, of course, so just approach them as a learning buffet :) You can start with some that catch your eye and, if they work for you, keep doing them every (other) day. You can also opt to change them, which is also part of learning about yourself and what you prefer.

And, finally, do not forget to come back to 4 activities from that are to be visited through the project - when and how you see fit. They work in a complementary way with all the activities here.

• 8 Key Competences Self-Reflection
• My Learning Journey Map
• My Learning Backpack
• Mirror of My Learning Self

The key reflection questions:

• When did I step out of my comfort zone or surprise myself? What did I discover about myself?
• What new responsibilities or roles have I taken on in the group? How do they make me feel?
• How am I working together with others to solve problems or get things done?
• How is it going for me to share my thoughts and opinions in the group? Was there a moment when I felt proud of how I expressed myself?
• What new word, phrase, gesture or way of communicating have I learned? How does it help us understand each other better?
• When did I notice a cultural difference that made me think or smile? What did it help me understand about others — or myself?
• What new ideas about the topic have I discovered, and how does it change the way I see it?

You may answer these questions in your own way, noting them down in your preferred way. If you want to explore it more deeply, you can choose one of the reflection methods below:
