About Learning My Way
Learning My Way is the main program of the Personal Development Centre (PDC) of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Leiden University. Our approach supports students and professionals in their development of becoming independent, healthy and engaged professionals and citizens, by means of coaching, training, and workshops.
Learning My Way (LMW) interventions offer participants a cognitive framework and a playful way to discover and shape their own path, learn about their unique talent, and realize their contribution to society. This approach supports the resilience of participants, to autonomously deal with adversities and setbacks in study, work, and private life.
The LMW-program consists of different modules, more information can be found under 'programs'.
Henk Dekker Award 2018
In 2018, the LMW program was awarded for educational innovation by the University of Leiden, Delft and Erasmus, through the annual Henk Dekker Award.
Unique to LMW is the secure online portfolio in which, as a participant, you can record and track your own development for life (Learning My Way portfolio). This portfolio travels with the participant, rather than with the institution. With this, LMW literally stands for lifelong learning. The portfolio is also the anchor point for the Life is Learning program for all students of the Faculty of Social Sciences of Leiden University.
