CORE Strenghten Your Life Skills: For Teenagers and Young Adults – English

Unit 3 – My next steps: Step 3

Task 1

Visualizing your future

Imagine your future situation two years from now.

  • Answer the following questions:
    • Where will you be?
    • What will you do?
    • What have you learned?
    • What have you left behind?
    • What will be important to you?
    • Which wishes will be fulfilled?
    • What obstacles have been overcome?
  • Sort your thoughts into a mind map. Include photos, drawings or other important items of your choice.
  • Use one of the free mind map apps of the app store or a sheet of paper.
  • Take a photo of your finished mind map or export it from your app.

Task 2

Explaining and sharing

Present your mind map to a partner and explain your thoughts.

  • Try to prioritize and think about what may be easier to fulfil, what will be rather difficult to realize.
    • Mark the more easily achievable ideas in your mind by underlining or by adding a heart, for example. More utopian goals or ideas could be marked with an exclamation point, for example.
  • Show your mind map to other colleagues. What do they think? What do you think about their ideas?
  • Publish a picture of your mind map and explain it to the discussion group. Ask questions and provide feedback to other posts as well.
