Meet the Transition Makers
Envisioning and exploring alternatives for the current systems are some of the most important tasks in higher education. It’s crucial to challenge the systems in which we operate, envision alternatives and act. I am pleased to see that so many students take an active part in shaping a better future.
Discover the power of imagination with Imagining the Future, using guided meditation, metaphorical storytelling and free writing. Imagine new pathways to a sustainable future by developing effective solutions that inspire change.
We believe that self-awareness and reflection skills are essential to professional and personal development, as the ability to identify and challenge limiting beliefs is key to developing authentically.
By transforming limiting beliefs into empowering alternatives, Challenge your Beliefs helps students recognise how their beliefs may hold them back from using their strengths. At SCOPE, we regularly incorporate these principles into our education, empowering students to make choices aligned with their authentic selves.
