Za Life!

About the program

Considering the satisfaction of schools and teenagers with the workshop 'If You Don't Know, Ask' we were often confronted, by both teenagers and schools, with the question of what we could offer them as a continuation of our workshop. We began searching for a way to make these conversations a permanent part of the school curriculum. After a creative meeting with the principals of two high schools, who expressed a desire for more frequent collaboration, we started pilot-testing the “Za Life!” program in 2022/23.

"I've never had workshops in this manner before and I could relate to many of the topics we discussed. We would need more workshops like these."

Purpose of the program

After completing the program, teenagers will have in-depth answers to their questions, will discover what it means to be responsible for themselves and their lives, and will be given a way to find their purpose in life and make it happen.

"I like your approach, which is different, which stands out in today's society. You show us that we can succeed even if we are different. I especially liked the connection between information, thoughts and emotions. And that it all depends on our thoughts, in my opinion a different, better conversation than with a psychotherapist and a greater impact!"

Program description

The program is designed in such a way that over an extended period, teenagers discover how to become creators of their lives. They familiarize themselves with the habits, thinking, and actions of highly successful individuals. The program covers topics and areas that are not part of the regular school curriculum. The program is tailored to each class based on the questions students posted during the 'If You Don't Know, Ask' workshop. In this way, we deepen the topics covered in the workshop, while teaching responsibility, respect, and leadership.

"Such a workshop should be a regular part of the curriculum, or at least more of it should be in school. It was very informative, and we discussed everyday problems that we really need to talk about. These are heavy topics, but better than irrelevant subjects in school."
