“Meaning in Life”: A European Program That Gives Meaning to Life

Meaning in Life is not just a program. It is an initiative aimed at highlighting the deeper meaning of life for people facing social challenges. As part of the Erasmus+ – Motion Through Awareness program, Ithaca, in collaboration with HVO – Querido from Amsterdam and WFX from Marseille, joined forces to exchange best practices and create tools with a significant social impact.

A Year of Actions and Collaborations

For an entire year, the three organizations traveled to each partner country, conducting visits and exchanging experiences. During these meetings:

• We created video testimonials featuring beneficiaries from each organization, showcasing what Meaning in Life means to each of them.
• We exchanged best practices regarding social support and empowerment.
• We developed a tool for social workers to help them deepen their conversations with the people they support, assisting them in discovering how they perceive life and building a more positive future.

Meaning in Life: A Tool with Impact

The most important outcome of the program is the tool for social workers, which allows them to engage more deeply with the thoughts and needs of the people they support. Through this, new pathways for social inclusion and improving the quality of life for beneficiaries are opened.

Continuing to Give Meaning

The completion of Meaning in Life marks the beginning of a new approach to social work. Our goal is to leverage the tools and knowledge we have gained to continue empowering individuals across Europe.
