Module 6-Unit 1-Activity 1

Download the template with the shapes and follow the next steps:

STEP 1: Please take a closer look at the following box.* Imagine this box as yourself, with different parts inside it. Take 10 min, and try to give names to these different parts, try to describe what you consist of as a Social worker. In these shapes could be also different areas: emotions, values, memories, hidden places, serious thoughts, experiences that have a special meaning for your life. All different, all you! Please take note that it’s important to name all parts, and leave nothing unnamed.

Now please, take a look at yourself, your box. How do you feel? Is this really you?

STEP 2: Next step, is to think and erase the four least important parts of yourself, the parts that you can work easily even if you lose them instantly. Use your mouse and delete these parts. Take again a closer look at your new ‘you’. How do you feel now? Do you believe that you can still continue on working effectively?

STEP 3: Let’s go further: think and erase next four least important parts of your job. Then please take another closer view of your newest edition. How do you feel? Do you believe that these deleted areas will affect your job as a social worker? If yes, in what point?

Now upload your final document.

It’s obligatory to think and erase the next four important parts of yourself. We know, they are all important for you, but you have to keep only one part, this one that is really YOU, the most important component of you as a Social worker. Now you have only this one… How do you feel? Can you continue on working with only this one competence? What new did you explore about yourself?

Which of these areas need to be improved?
