Inspiring Purpose is a personal development teaching resource

Using our unique poster templates, pupils are guided through a journey of self-reflection and inspiration where they reflect upon their own personal strengths, explore who and what inspires them and then use this insight to talk about their future aspirations.

Designed specifically for 10 to 16 year olds, Inspiring Purpose has been principally supported by the John Templeton Foundation. The original values poster was developed from Sir John Templeton’s Worldwide Laws of Life which he published in 1997. The qualities and values reflected on in the programme are aligned with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.

The aim and vision of the Inspiring Purpose programme is to give young people the opportunity to think about their values and character strengths whilst also reflecting on who or what inspires them and their aspirations and goals for the future.

Our  mission  is to help young people set goals, demonstrate future-mindedness and develop a sense of purpose. To help these young minds of the future find opportunities and causes that they care about, and to get young people involved in taking action on issues that matter to them.

At Inspiring Purpose we have four projects available for use. Our main project is our ‘Inspiring Purpose: Global Citizens in the Making‘, which we have thousands of young people participating in every year. Our ‘Inspiring Purpose: Commonwealth Edition‘ of the Inspiring Purpose project is dedicated to all of our friends across the 50 nations and territories of the Commonwealth. In this edition they explore their own personal strengths and values . Our mission… To inspire purpose as a way of being in all young people in the Commonwealth.
