Practice of Life Design Workshop based on Design Thinking

Abstract

In this study, we argue that through the meticulous orchestration of a practical life design workshop, centered around the individual financial perspectives of adolescent Japanese university students, and employing the tenets of the design thinking process, the participants can adeptly engage in contemplation regarding life design. We reveal that it is this contemplation that can unearth their latent ideals and hitherto unacknowledged reflections, which typically remain submerged in the quotidian fabric of their existence.
