Details:
In today’s society people and especially young people have to learn during and for the rest of their lives, both personally and professionally. Very often young people who did not do well in school (and another formal education institutions) feel they cannot learn or don’t have the learning skills they need. They are often not sure what their talents and passions are, what their life purpose is, and what learning goals they want to set for themselves. Because of the negative connotation of failing, some people stay away from learning in general. They don’t want to fail because failing is very often considered as 'not making the mark' and not being able to deliver what you are supposed to. Research shows that people who are able to see failing and making mistakes as part of a learning and development process are both more motivated and more effective in their lifelong learning processes. With this project we want to show that failing is a part of learning, especially self-directed learning (a process in which the individual learner takes the initiative, with the support of others, to diagnose their learning needs, formulate learning goals, identify support for learning, select and implement learning strategies and evaluate learning outcomes). If learners are able to embrace failing as part of their learning process they can achieve so much more in learning and life in general! Getting into a learning process yourself and embracing failing as an empowering part of learning is a hard but courageous thing! Coaching practice shows that people who take action and set that very important first step - moves forward faster and are less scared of failing in the next steps.
We consider failing to be:
• A source of information for next learning steps;
• A part of learning and moving forward;
• An experience, that is an essential step on the way to succeeding.
In other words, people who take the risks and embrace failing builds resilience that helps them to move forward in all areas of their life.
