The exercise provides the students with an opportunity to consider and reflect on themselves as regards possible work situations in a project placement. The students must exchange experience with each other regarding their project placements and formulate their learning outcomes from relevant tasks during the internship, and link the experience to their academic and personal interests.
The purpose of the exercise is to create a space in which the students may exchange experience from their project placements. Based on the questions in handout 1, space is created for the students to reflect on their experiences in the project placements and on how these may be linked to their academic and theoretical knowledge and interests. At the same time, the exercise questions also support the students’ reflections on how to bring their own academic competences into play in a job context.
