The Purpose Challenge
This 4-day activity, of just 15 minutes each day, culminates in an optional writing for a university application essay. Regardless of whether or not you wish to write at the end, the activity is both engaging and rewarding. The Challenge encourages older students to explore their thoughts, emotions, and values, and how those might impact their behaviour and life choices.
