What exactly is Project Element, and how can it help me in the future? Is it something along the lines of so-called ‘Career counselling’?
Project Element is an initiative by students of the class of 2015 of The Mother’s International School to help you find your passion through the medium of interactive workshops in 18 different fields in the summer break of 2015. Project Element is in no way a career counselling session. We will show you why we are passionate about our work and help you do the same. Finding what you love is the hard part. Finding a career is easy.
-
Is Project Element a school initiative?
No. Although Project Element is an initiative by alumni of The Mother’s International School, it is being organised independently. The school may not be held responsible for any events occurring during the course of Project Element.
-
I know my interest. Why do I need Project Element?
The aim of Project Element is not only to help you disover an interest, but also to help you take your existing ones forward. You will be challenged and pushed to your limits so that your inclinations may develop into a passion.
-
Isn’t it self-contradictory to expect people to find their passion within 18 limited fields?
The 18 fields have been chosen according to the capabilities of the class of 2015 of The Mother’s International School. Because these fields cover a diverse range of skill-sets, they will provide you with a fair idea of the direction in which your interests lie, and must not be treated as rigid markers. Also, you may send your queries regarding fields other than the 18 that have been chosen at contact@projectelement.co.
