Objectives

"VibrantPaths: Discover Your Journey with Ikigai" is a project focused on providing youth workers with skills that align with their personal and professional growth and development goals, enabling them to face the daily challenges they encounter in their work and personal lives. The core idea of the project is to create a program that combines international mobility with the transformative approach of the Japanese concept "Ikigai." This term refers to the circumstances and elements from which individuals derive value in life, emphasizing the pursuit and strengthening of self-awareness, reflection, and clarity regarding their goals and aspirations, while simultaneously enhancing their professional skills. The project's primary goal is to train youth workers in the Ikigai approach, enabling them to develop new ways of guiding, supporting, and inspiring other young people by helping them identify their purpose in both their personal and professional lives. This training aims to equip participants to make informed decisions aligned with their passions and skills, in tune with labor market demands, and capable of providing them with remuneration. The project promotes personal and professional growth by integrating the Ikigai concept into both workplace and everyday contexts. Additionally, it fosters the internationalization of youth workers through mobility experiences in global work environments, encouraging reflection, self-awareness, and personal growth. Finally, the project seeks to establish an international network of collaboration that promotes intercultural understanding and awareness while strengthening ties between multiple communities.
