This idea was co-created at the OpenIDEO Vienna Chapter Ideation Jam
(https://www.facebook.com/events/1161658407214874/)

"The purpose discovery quest" offers 2-month programs to high-schoolers that can help them to connect to and explore specific problems in order for them to choose their educational and career paths.

HOW: Through providing inner and outer journey experiences such as guided meditation, awareness training, role playing, empathy training, (physical and virtual) training, reflection research (on the job interviews), and critical thinking training. 

Who is your idea designed for and how does it reimagine higher education to support the needs of tomorrow?

Who: 16-17 year olds around the time when they need to decide what to study or work

Hi Stephan,

I really like the fact that you are focusing on higher education students and empowering them to make more informed decisions.

Could this idea take inspiration from these ideas that focus on mentoring and helping people find their passions?
