Self-reflection and having a full understanding of our own personal values is vital when considering our life choices. This module will help you consider why. We reflect upon a question: can we introduce the value of sustainability into our work? And if so, how?

Of course, the answer is not easy to find. However, we have structured the module to give you general information at the beginning—such as how environmental sustainability and climate change are playing an important role in young people’s life choices—and to arrive at the end with an example of good practice showing you how you can combine the values of sustainability with employment.

To go from the general to the particular, you will be guided with a self-reflection tool. Thanks to this tool, you will go through the episodes that have been important in your life, discover the values that have guided you through your experiences, and understand whether some of those are reflected in the employment you have today.

In the final part of the module, you will understand the concepts of work-life balance, work-life integration, and work-life harmony: three strategies that can make you more aware of your relationship between life, work, and values. While discovering these strategies, the module will suggest a green example: a practical tip on how to include the value of sustainability in every aspect of your life.

It seems complicated, but do not worry—we will take you through it, and you'll receive plenty of guidance for your work with young people. Let’s get started!
