Find Yourself



Find your place in the world

What is our place in the world? How do we relate to our friends, our family, our teachers, our students, our family and neighbours? It is important for us to express ourselves and find our own audience. Improvisations and playful explorations can give us a sense of confidence and mystery in our everyday lives. By telling our stories as we feel them or the way we feel most comfortable, we will be able to discover what our position in the universe is in relation to others. We can hear reactions from others and from our own hearts, and when we reflect on them, we can find meaning in the many playful moments we have designed. What we experience can be different for each moment, and this element of surprise can give our lives an emergently playful and stimulating quality.

Find your self through design

Through designing our learning and living spaces, we are able to discover what intrigues us and what is engaging for us. Initially, we may not be able to find activities or knowledge which are meaningful to us, but as we involve ourselves in the design of our learning-scape, we may discover something that engages our hearts. The process itself, of discovering this new meaning, could become a source of energy for us. It is important that we are active in finding our own place in the design of our learning and play so that each new discovery becomes a transformational journey.
