The Life Worth Living Platform: Enhancing Educator Well-being and Professional Growth
The Life Worth Living Platform (LIFE Platform) is designed to enhance the well-being of educators and trainers by providing a supportive space for self-discovery and professional growth.
This platform transcends traditional e-learning paradigms by combining the exploration of profound life questions with the development of modern teaching skills, thus creating a holistic growth experience. At its core, the LIFE digital platform offers resources for self-discovery, connection and professional growth. It supports personal development of educators by providing structured learning experiences that encourage self-reflection, goal setting, and the exploration of personal values and aspirations.
Explore Life’s Profound Questions
The Life Worth Living Platform challenges educators to think critically about some of life's most important questions, like "What is worth wanting?" or "What is the good life?”. Through carefully curated content including readings, interactive exercises, and videos, educators discover their values, goals, and aspirations. This exploration is aimed at helping educators and trainers understand what truly matters to them in their personal lives which will impact their professional lives, and enrich their teaching and interactions with students.
Focus on Educators’ Well-being supported through e-Learning
Acknowledging the importance of psychological and emotional health for successful teaching, the LIFE platform includes modules specifically designed to impact educators' emotional health through supported learning that helps them discern and articulate for themselves what is the shape of a flourishing life. The e-learning course curriculum compliments the in-person retreats, which are fundamental to the LIFE course, and gives participants the opportunity to extend and deepen their learning between retreats.
Build a Supportive Community
One of the standout features of the Life Worth Living Platform is its community-building capability. The platform acts as a social hub where educators can connect, share experiences, and support each other through national and international chat rooms. This network provides a vibrant learning community which is essential for maintaining motivation through a sense of connection and belonging.
Discover Multilingual and Culturally Inclusive Resources
The Life Worth Living Platform provides resources in English, Dutch, Icelandic, Italian, Greek, and Bulgarian to cater to the many linguistic and cultural backgrounds of educators around Europe. By making the content accessible, educators from various geographic locations can actively interact with the platform, and apply the knowledge they acquire to their own educational environments and cultural contexts.
