Workshop Finding a Compass on Purpose for Political Science MSc students

In the first part of this seminar we will focus on identifying aspects around your 'purpose' and values. We will explore what you find important in life and why. We will focus on topics related to questions such as: “What do I find important?”, “What do I want to bring others?”, “How does my study relate to me and my values? And how can I make sure that my study career planning fits my values?”. In the second part, we will also focus on these topics from a career-oriented point of view. How can you write your CV profile with this self-knowledge? We will practice with tools to enhance your 'employability'. The seminar is organised by the Personal Development Centre FSW & CareerService FSW.
