For over 60 years, VIA has invited young people in the US and Asia to discover their passion, potential, and pathway to address complex human challenges in their communities. During this one-day retreat, aspiring and active social impact leaders will gain hands-on experience with design-thinking, a framework that leverages empathy to design for innovative change, by applying it to a challenge in their own lives. Participants will also have the opportunity to network, reflect, and envision how to pursue more meaningful impact in their personal and professional journeys. <span fr-original-style="font-size: 18px; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:18px;font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;color:rgb(65, 65, 65);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">AGENDA | スケジュール<ul><li style="box-sizing:inherit">9:30 AM - 9:45 AM: Check-in | 受付</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">10:00 AM - 11:30 AM: First Session | 第一セッション </li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">11:30 AM - 12:45 PM: Lunch Break | ランチ休憩</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">1:00 PM - 2:30 PM: Design Your Life Session | Design Your Life セッション</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">2:30 PM - 3:30 PM: Life/Career Planning | ライフ/キャリアプランニング</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Visualization Party, Wrap Up & Certificates | ビジュアライゼーションパーティーと総括</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">4:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Clean up |  片付け</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">5:15 PM - 7:15 PM: Optional Dinner & Networking | オプションの夕食会とネットワーキング (location TBD)</li></ul><span fr-original-style="font-size: 18px; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:18px;font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;color:rgb(65, 65, 65);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">REGISTRATION | お申し込み<ul><li style="line-height:1.38;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit">Professionals | 一般人: $60 USD (約8800円）</li><li style="line-height:1.38;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit">Students* & VIA Alumni | 学生*・VIAプログラムの参加者: $30 USD (約4400円)</li></ul><span fr-original-style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;color:#414141;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;color:rgb(65, 65, 65);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">*Current students or recent (spring 2024) graduates | 現在学校に所属しているもしくは今春卒業した人。 Note:On the payment page you will see the option to “Support the 100% free platform we use!” This nonprofit fundraising platform, Zeffy, does not charge VIA any transaction fees.
