Socialization and self-realization – let’s get to know ourselves with the project “Learn with Your Ears”

Can one person be considered a family? And how to interpret the concepts of “dignity” and “conscience”?

High school students discuss these questions in a civics class. But they are also relevant to adults. Perhaps that is why our new subject, “Civic Education”, in the “Learn with Your Ears” project immediately reached the top among 140 audio lessons on the site.

Until September, the “Learn with Your Ears” project included three school subjects: Ukrainian language and literature and the history of Ukraine for grades 7-11. All of them are available on five podcasting platforms: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, NV Podcast, and Megogo.

At the beginning of the new school year, a lesson on World History for grade 11 and three audio lessons on Civic Education were released. The latter raises important issues of human identity and personality.

You can listen to all the audio lessons here.

Antonina Makarevych opens the Civic Education course with the following topics:

In the first lesson, “Who am I: What is Identity?“, we will learn:

• who we are and what makes us unique;
• what is identity and what kind of identity it is (for example, civic or regional);
• what is identification;
• how self-determination takes place;
• what dignity and conscience are.

In the second lesson, “Why we need socialization?”, we will learn:

• what socialization is and how we are socialized;
• how we understand social roles, rules, norms, and values;
• family models: can one person be a family?
• What is the place of the family in society?
• how personality development takes place;
• the three stages of socialization.

In the third lesson, “Is it important for a person to be self-realized in life?”, we will learn:

• what self-realization is and whether it is essential for a person to self-realize;
• Maslow’s pyramid of needs;
• how values influence self-realization;
• the importance of creativity and mobility;
• during the lesson, we will also talk with the Chat GPT.
