My Purpose Project

Training Course

9-18 December 2022 | Kalamata, Greece

The main aim of this training course is to develop the competencies of 24 youth workers from 8 countries to help them better support themselves and others to identify and pursue their life purpose.

The reality in Europe is that students must decide at a young age, usually when they are only 16 or 17, what career path they want to take. After they select their desired field of study for University, it is extremely difficult to change it and follow a different path in the future. Should a student recognize during their time at University that they are not fulfilled by the field they chose, their options are usually to re-do the year and take another entrance exam (a huge financial and time burden), graduate anyway without a clear path forward, or drop out of school. This results in a large majority of European students graduating from University with no direction into what career path could fulfil them or what to do next.

This training aims to address these issues, using evidence-based research on life purpose as well as the Japanese concept of IKIGAI (see diagram on the next page).

MAIN AIM: The main aim of this training course is to develop the competencies of 24 youth workers from 8 countries to help them better support themselves and others to identify and pursue their life purpose.

THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES: to increase knowledge on what purpose is, why it is important, and how to better discover it to develop skills to support others to identify their life purpose and unlock their potential; to increase awareness of the importance of discovering and following your life purpose for personal and professional fulfilment.
