THE FRUITS WE HOPE FOR

Every educational approach pursues an intention. It seeks to nurture certain qualities, develop certain abilities and encourage certain transformations. But beyond principles, values and methods, one question remains:

What fruits do we hope to see emerge?

OSE promises no particular outcome. Each person remains free to follow their own path. But the programme hopes to encourage the emergence of certain fruits that reflect human, existential and relational growth.

OSE Tree of Hoped-For Fruits: seven human qualities rooted in values and commitments
OSE THE EXPERIENCE Grow. Transform. Contribute.

LOVE OF LIFE

The deep feeling that life deserves to be fully lived, welcomed and honoured. It shows itself through self-respect, attentiveness to others, wonder at the world and gratitude for existing. Love of life nourishes the desire to grow, to contribute and to pass on.

CONFIDENCE

Confidence in oneself, in one's abilities and in one's capacity to face the unknown and to grow.

SERENITY

A balanced way of moving through difficulties while staying true to oneself.

JOY OF LIVING

Born of action, encounters, discoveries and the feeling of moving forward.

THE HAPPINESS OF EXISTING

Fully inhabiting one's own existence. Feeling alive, present to oneself, to others and to the world.

THE SENSE OF SUCCEEDING IN LIFE

Giving direction to one's life, developing one's talents and building a life true to what moves us most deeply.

CONTRIBUTING ONE'S VALUE TO HUMANITY

Discovering one's unique contribution and putting it at the service of others and of Humanity.

STRONG ROOTS, SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

ALIGNMENT

A clear direction that gives meaning to our action.

Three complementary paths of transformation.

Le sentiment profond que la vie mérite d'être pleinement vécue, accueillie et honorée.

L'amour de la vie nourrit le désir de grandir, de contribuer et de transmettre.

A SHARED HOPE

These fruits are neither objectives to achieve nor guarantees of success. They represent a hope.

The hope of seeing young people become women and men who are:

  • more confident,
  • more serene,
  • happier to be alive,
  • more engaged in their own lives,
  • more aware of their responsibility towards Humanity.

This is the harvest that OSE modestly hopes to help grow.

Women and men who are more confident, more serene, happier to be alive, more engaged in their own lives and more aware of their responsibility towards Humanity.
