Netherlands, November 2025 — Designing Your Life Netherlands is deepening its impact by building partnerships with academic institutions across Europe. Inspired by the original Stanford-based Designing Your Life method, the organization aims to empower students and young professionals to chart meaningful careers using human-centered design, creativity, and community support.
These collaborations will bring DYL methodology into university curricula, enabling students to prototype multiple future careers, test their assumptions, and build confidence in navigating life transitions. By blending design thinking and positive psychology, Designing Your Life helps learners craft a “life compass” rooted in their values, strengths, and beliefs.
The long-term vision is to democratize life design education — making this transformative process accessible not only in workshops and retreats but also in classrooms, mentorship programs, and peer cohorts across Europe.
