Objectives

"Journey to my purpose" proposes a journey of self-knowledge to find personal purpose. It has been developed by and for youth workers with the aim of addressing a number of specific goals. This project has a dual approach that seeks to help participants acquire personal skills and tools while providing them with practical resources to apply in their daily work with their respective target groups. Among the objectives expected to be achieved through this project include the following: - To use self-knowledge as a fundamental tool to understand and begin to build their own paths, recognizing their intelligences, interests, passions and strengths as major assets to contribute to society. - Train youth workers to help young people manage the feeling of being lost, without goals or motivations in life. - Foster empathy towards the challenges young people face when deciding their next educational or career steps. - Sharing practices and experiences with other professionals in the field. - To offer tools for more coherent decision making, based on both specific techniques and that self-knowledge that will enable them to make conscious decisions. To empower participants to build a life aligned with their values and needs, promoting a proactive attitude and helping them to take charge of their own destiny, living a life with purpose and meaning, and respecting themselves as protagonists of their history rather than mere spectators. - To foster the development of emotional intelligence competencies that will enable them to live more harmoniously with themselves and their communities. - Cultivate self-compassion and self-love to improve both as professionals and as individuals, recognizing their own potential. - Learn and share strategies to improve personal self-care. - Acquire specific tools for better organization of time and prioritization of tasks. - To value the importance of having an action plan to achieve their objectives, learning specific methods for its elaboration. - Practice networking to expand their connections. - Improve skills such as creativity, adaptability and failure management. - Contribute to the creation of an international network for both professionals and young people. - Encourage exchange and understanding of different cultures and mentalities. - To draw inspiration from other professionals, career paths and career choices. All in all, the main goal is to empower young people to recognize and value their natural talents, and thus build a purposeful life while respecting themselves. Which in turn, will help them to appreciate diversity and to find job opportunities aligned with the value they offer.
