Methodology & Assessment

This experiential course blends storytelling, embodied reflection, nature-based learning, and collaborative dialogue. Learning is supported by creative workshops, myth-inspired exercises, movement, and peer sharing. Daily reflection circles and story labs allow for personal and professional insight. While there is no formal assessment, participants develop a final story, a visual leadership postcard, and a personal action plan. These outcomes, along with daily reflection, form a portfolio of growth by the end of the course.

Materials, Digital, Tools & Other Learning Resources
