The exam-based education system in Taiwan leaves young adults without time to find their life purpose. Working with City Wanderer, this project identified factors influencing purpose and provided ways to address them through challenges called ‘Missions’. The team conducted interviews and surveys on young adults aged 18-25 and past City Wanderer program participants to discover the root causes of purposelessness and how the team should structure their proposed Missions. The team determined that City Wanderer’s work had an overall positive impact on individuals’ purpose. The team identified common themes such as social connection, self-development, and career exploration as beneficial to purpose development, which they used to create five Missions to best target young adult purposelessness.
