In July, the third online webinar for young people “Me and self-growth” took place as part of the “flourish” project, which was dedicated to the topic of personal development and the so-called growth mindset. This session gave young people the opportunity to discuss, look at their own experience and identify what helps them grow both in thought and action.

During the webinar, participants interactively got to know and shared their associations with the concept of “self-growth”, discussing what it means for each person to be on the path to the best version of themselves. The difference between fixed and growth mindsets was examined, and each participant created their own personal SWOT analysis to identify strengths, challenges, opportunities and development directions.

The webinar also provided practical tools for personal growth and self-reflection — young people learned how to set achievable goals, overcome internal barriers and say “YES” to themselves more. As one of the participants admitted: “I learned a lot about myself and ways to continue working on myself to have the growth that I want to achieve in myself. This was a valuable and inspiring experience.”

We concluded that growth often begins with small but conscious choices, for example, with the courage to look at yourself from a new perspective and believe that change is possible.

Thank you to all the participants for your involvement and openness, as well as to the project team for their creative approach and supportive environment!
