Course objectives
The aim of the course is to develop students’ personal and professional competencies through guided experiential activities and immediate reflection. The course promotes self-awareness, the ability to recognize and manage emotions, empathy, respect for personal and professional boundaries, group cooperation, creativity, improvisation and self-care. Students reflect on their values, strengths, limits and personal resources and examine their relevance to working with clients, children, young people, families and colleagues. Emphasis is placed on transferring experience gained during the course to future professional practice.

Teaching methods

Guided experiential activities and skills practice; individual, pair and group work; immediate reflection on experience; facilitated discussion and feedback; creative, movement-based, drama-based and relaxation techniques.

Assessment methods

Course credit is awarded on the basis of active and punctual attendance at scheduled classes, participation in experiential activities and involvement in immediate reflection and feedback. Due to the experiential and group-based nature of the course, its learning outcomes cannot be achieved through independent study alone. Any excused absence is discussed individually with the teacher.

Language of instruction
Czech
Teacher's information

The course is delivered through practically oriented seminars held throughout the semester. Activities may include movement, use of physical space, creative activities and relaxation techniques. Students are therefore advised to wear comfortable clothing and footwear and, if they have long hair, to bring something with which to tie it back. Instructions are given to the whole group before each activity begins; punctuality is therefore essential. No advance study of individual topics is required. The course study material is intended primarily to provide orientation, clarify key concepts and support reflection on experience.

Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
