Jiva workshops are activity based. Each Jiva activity is conducted through multiple steps as shown in the figure. They are designed to instill attitudes and skills for self-mediation. Throughout the workshop students encounter the importance of taking responsibility for their decisions and actions. The counsellor creates an environment for career discovery, but the activities are student-led. Students engage with the topics in the Career Discovery Path through a wide variety of interesting activities including games, peer discussions, tests, inventories, group work and time for quiet introspection. They record their learnings from each activity in their personal Jiva workbook.
