COURSE CREATION
Ikigai is the Japanese term and concept for that which gives you a purpose for being. It is found at the nexus of what you love doing, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. During the Foundations course, scholars will explore and determine their individual purpose. By connecting with like-minded peers, scholars will also create a project together based on their individual but complementary Ikigai.
