The aim of the course is to support students' personal growth: to develop better self-awareness and self-knowledge of students, to strengthen positive aspects of their personalities, to encourage their motivation and ability to cope with the demands of their jobs after graduation. Active classroom discussion and debates of students from two different cultures (Czech Republic and USA) will promote complex thinking about issues and problems inherent in practical application of the knowledge and skills gained during the lectures. All of this can significantly contribute to the well-being of students useful in teaching, counseling, therapy or social care.
