#4 Vision my learning

Content

‘All things are created twice’, that is what Steven Covey, the author of the book ‘The 7 habits of effective people’ writes. He recommends beginning with the end in mind. For example, when you want to build a house, you need to know first how this house must look, otherwise you will experience in a later stage that you forgot important basics and your house can become unstable. So you first create in your mind and later on in reality, and that is what is meant by ‘all things are created twice’. 
﻿
What do you want to achieve in your learning, for civic and career life? What do you want to achieve for other young people in their learning, for civic and career life? This activity will be about those two very important questions. We recommend to keep the vision about next year achievable, make sure it is something that only takes a year and not your entire life to achieve it. When you understand where you want to end up, it gives a lot of clarity in your personal life as well as in your career life. It will give you the purpose of why you are doing things.

Tasks

Task no.1

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Think about what you want to have achieved about your own learning, civic and career life next year. You can use the vision board method to make this achievement visual. You can also use other methods, like mindmap, timeline, etc., but make sure that it is very clear what you want to have achieved yourself. Then start with planning a path towards that end, how will you work at this achievement and how can you monitor this process? Perhaps you can create a few milestones along the way? So you recognise that you are on the right speed towards your achievement?
And then plan how you will review your process. Will you sit down every month to review what happened and if you need to adapt your plan? Or are you using other ways, like writing it down in your calendar, using the notes on your phone, or talking to a peer who did the same task ... ?
﻿
Discuss your planned personal learning achievement with peers or mentors.
