 PRACTICE CASE

SOFT SKILLS for

Youngsters - special needs - unemployment 

There is a strong link between the autonomy of people and their well-being and functioning. When people feel autonomous, they feel that they can make their own choices and follow their own preferences. People will try to internalize and integrate the norms, values and rules of their environment. This process is best when these standards, values and rules are transmitted in a way that is more autonomy-supporting than authoritarian and when these standards, values and rules are congruent with the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence and commitment (Ryan & Deci , 2011).

CHILDREN AUTONOMY

The upbringing of children by their parents affects autonomous functioning and the extent to which they develop into well-adapted and well-functioning individuals. Autonomy is about helping children to internalize and integrate external requirements and values. Young children already show that they have a need for autonomy. As children grow up, they shift what they mean by autonomy. At a young age, this mainly relates to the way they express themselves, the clothes they want to wear, which boyfriends and what toys they want to play. Later, their definition of autonomy extends to subjects such as privacy and freedom of thought (Knee & Uysal, 2011

YOUTH - UNEMPLOYMENT

By 2016, 10.8 percent of the 15 to 25 year-old working population were unemployed. Since 2013, there has been a gradual decline in the number of young people in search of work. In 2013 it was still over 13 percent. The unemployment rate among young people with a migration background is twice as high as those among young people with a Dutch background. By 2016, 18.1 and 8.9 percent of the youth are respectively in the relevant category looking for paid employment (CBS, 2017).

YOUTH - SPECIAL NEEDS

The group of young people leaving education without starting qualification falls into two groups: those who, due to limitations, are unable to achieve the starting qualification and those who do not have a qualification due to early school leaving. For the purpose of participation, the first-mentioned group usually pursues an education in continuing special education or practical education (Turkenburg, 2017). The first group is particularly important, this group of young people experience additional difficulties in finding a suitable job.

SOFT SKILLS 

for entrepreneurs

SOFT SKILLS

Create your own mind map. 

Soft Skills are personal, emotional, social and intellectual skills.

What do you think?

What soft skills do we need as an entrepreneur?

Exercise Communication

Make two numbers and take a sheet of paper with a line drawing on it. Make sure the other person does not see this drawing. Then they sit with their backs together. One person explains what he or she is doing on the paper and the other person is trying to draw it while listening.

Goals

- The team members can work together

- The team members can consult verbally

- The team members can visualize

- The team members are able to listen to each other

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

After all, people who ar drawing use a coordinated coherence of various dimensions of their personality. I will briefly show a number of dimensions below. (Meykens & Cluckers, 2006)

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

The effect of neurological maturation on visuomotor coordination. The perception in relation to psychology and the combination of perception and images. 

The development of spiritual images or performances.

Transferring mental images in combination with both emotional and cognitive relations, for example in graphical tables.

Emblem in general and the development of inventiveness, the placement, importance of fantasy, expressions and differentiation of the sensuous images in a drawing. (Meykens & Cluckers, 2006)

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

And lastly the choice for placing visual images on a drawing paper, graphics in combination with the development of the ability to verbal and theoretical communication.

I do not want to deal with all these dimensions and questions extensively, but partly because they mention that drawing assignments are a familiar aspect of developmental psychology. This allows drawings to provide insights into a deeper layer of personality development. (Meykens & Cluckers, 2006)

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

Because of the various connections and the effects this raises many critical questions among scientists. There appears to be a twos split, on the one hand scientists who emphasize the objectifiable and experimental aspects of a drawing and the drawing process, and on the other hand scientists who approach drawings mainly as fantastmatic and motivational processes.

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

A brief summary from which perspectives in the past drawings were studied. In the past one has tried to analyze intelligence by means of drawing analyzes. On closer inspection this turned out not to be sufficiently valid (Goodenough, 1926).

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

Eventually, Koppitz managed to further focus this perspective and came to the conclusion that only a rough estimate can be made of intelligence (Koppitz, 1968).

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

Subsequently, scientists have researched emotional dimensions in a drawing. The psychoanalytic findings (Machover, 1949) could be reconciled, and drawings analyzes were considered to be autobiographical.

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

As a follow-up to earlier findings, drawings in recent research have also been approached from the experimental point of view. People wanted to gain insight into the progress of the drawing process with the emphasis on problems of planning and execution (Freeman, 1987).

MEANING OF DRAWINGS

Eventually, through Piaget's research, it became clear that her research was insufficiently valid if we took this as a measure of the level of understanding of children. When children make a drawing, they often have a good sense of the level of understanding, often better than when they depict it in a drawing. With this fact it becomes clear that a distinction is made between understanding and expression. Taking into account that a spiritual representation can be much better than one observes in the drawing.

A TREE OF A MAN

Just like people, there are tree species that go out

to open (extrovert). Other people are waiting

quietly (his introvert). The latter invite you to after

think, put it in a row or to relax.

Extraverted trees have the strongest during the day

appearance. Introverted trees are energetically more 's

at night, especially at full moon. Various

tree species respond most strongly to the sun or up

the moon.

A TREE OF A MAN

Goals

• The students can draw and color a tree. 
  
• The students can view a tree by looking closely at the whole, the parts and proportions. Is that visible? 
• The students can use the entire sheet of paper and the tree in it 
  
• portray. Is the composition balanced? 
  
• The students can show their own tree by means of color and pay attention on the shape and environment of the tree. 
• The students can deal with feedback and are able to reflect on own and each other made visual work.

A TREE OF A MAN - Exercises

1. We first look at a number of images of trees. Also look at the shapes and the colors. Are you going to color your tree in a day or nightly environment?

caught? Not all shadows are black.

2. You make a drawing of a tree and color an environment. Pay attention

on the shapes of the branches.

3. We will analyze the drawings. What is in your own drawing?

4. Next, if there is enough time, we will add your drawing together with the

drawings of the other people in your group, in a joint paper. You
thus goes through a collage technique, merging drawings. Here there is a 'bunch' on paper.

5. In conclusion, we will go over the entire project. We use one for this

analysis form. What did it bring us? What insights and how does this feel

for you? Do you want to know more about yourself and in combination with your drawing? 

FLOW IMAGES

Flow images are smooth line drawings on paper. They are mainly organic and can have all kinds of forms. The idea is to connect fluently to the inventive line drawing of another. People look for a connection in turn. The color is initially black for the lines. These are made with a waterproof marker. Then we could choose to color this with text markers.
