Design Your Future Programme
The Design Your Future Programme introduces participants to a range of concepts, mindsets and
tools drawn from the Stanford University Design Your Life framework. This process encourages action
learning and offers a rich range of techniques, methods and processes that are well crafted and
designed, to help students learn skills and dispositions to help them navigate their university and life
experiences. This module provides students with a framework to understand their strengths, goals
and priorities, enabling them to discern the professional and life choices that bring greatest fulfillment
and meaning.
This innovative way of engaging students contributes to their sense of agency as they grow in
confidence to take action in their own learning. They will acquire tools, mindsets and techniques that
help them recognise their interests, talents and curiosities and envision what their future work life
might look like. This approach encourages students to build their network within and outside of the
university and to connect with all the supports, resources, and opportunities available to them.
To earn this badge the student must:
• Interact with the tools and content through individual and group work in a classroom setting.
• Complete the companion Design Your Life workbook and Journal outside of class.
