Course

Starting from analyzing real-life situations, participants are stimulated to reflect on topics such as freedom, responsibility, communication within relationships et cetera. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, facilitating the exchange of experiences and thoughts with other participants. Thanks to this exchange, and under the guidance of well-trained moderators, participants will develop a solid foundation on which they are able to answer the questions they will encounter in life. Therefore they are able to make good and responsible choices.

Personal Project is based on a vision of the human person rooted in natural philosophy and common sense. The moral issues are approached based on the natural law, which includes the values and norms of behavior that every human being recognizes by reflecting on himself and that applies to every person, independently of cultural differences (i.e. treat the other the same way you would like to be treated). This conception is indeed in accordance with Christian values.

WHO CAN ATTEND THE PROJECT?

Students and young professionals in the age of 23-30 years can attend this program. The Personal Development Project is both for people in a relationship (but not yet married) and for singles.

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

There is a pre-selected list of topics that allows participants to study, discuss, and reflect on some of the most important questions in life. Each topic is carefully analyzed through three different steps:  

  • step 1: Each participant studies the case on their own 
  • step 2: Participants are organized into small groups and discuss the case 
  • step 3: Participants attend the general session where the case is reviewed systematically with the help of a trained moderator
  • step 4: The moderator will deliver a talk on a topic related to the case discussed.
WHAT IS A “CASE”?

A case is a description of a real-life situation, presenting a problem, potentially similar to what the participants may encounter during their present/near future life. Under the guidance of the team leaders and the moderators, the participants engage in discussion, analyze the case, and try to propose possible solutions. By doing this, participants are stimulated to reflect on their own life. Every participant will also take advantage of the experience of others to get tools to deal with similar situations. This approach fosters interactivity. Participants are encouraged to contribute their opinions, engage in discussions, pose questions, share examples, and more, enriching the content of the sessions.

WHO ARE THE MODERATORS?

The moderators are well-trained and highly motivated professionals. They are qualified to teach the participants on the topics discussed in the program. There will be an invited speaker specific to each session.
