La configuración del proyecto de vida es un reto de todo ser humano. Los factores que condicionan la construcción del proyecto vital son diversos: escasa madurez, falta de identidad, personalidad conflictiva, entorno sociofamiliar problemático, fracaso escolar, etc. La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de configuración de los proyectos de vida en adolescentes en riesgo de exclusión social.  Se realizó un estudio de casos múltiples con seis adolescentes con trayectorias de exclusión acogidos al sistema de protección. En el estudio se utilizaron instrumentos y técnicas cualitativas (diario de campo, entrevistas abiertas y grupos de discusión) y cuantitativas (cuestionario). Los resultados muestran que estos menores poseen dificultades para proyectar un futuro al margen de los contextos de exclusión social en los que se han desarrollado. Los proyectos de vida son construidos desde la inadaptación al sistema y sobre una base socioemocional deficiente, ocasionando en los jóvenes la incapacidad de generar pensamientos y conductas asertivas para lograr alcanzar las metas fijadas. Es necesario: a) trabajar con los adolescentes en riesgo de exclusión la adquisición de estrategias socioemocionales, y b) prevenir las conductas intra e interpersonales conflictivas, a través de acciones de atención/apoyo. The configuration of the life design is a challenge for every human being. The factors that determine the construction of the life design are diverse: lack of maturity, lack of identity, con-flictive personality, problematic social and family environment, school failure, etc. This study attempts to analyse the process of shaping life designs in adolescents at risk of social exclusion. A multi-case study was conducted with six adolescents presenting exclusion trajectories that were within the protection system. In the study, qualitative (semi-structured and diary field inter-views) and quantitative (questionnaire) data retrieval tools and techniques were used, opting for a mixed methodology. The results show that these children have difficulties in projecting a future outside the contexts of social exclusion in which they have developed. Life designs are built from the maladjustment to the system and on a deficient social-emotional basis, making young people unable to generate assertive thoughts and behaviors to achieve the goals set. It is necessary to: a) work with adolescents at risk of exclusion to make them acquire social-emotional strategies, and b) prevent conflicting intra and interpersonal behaviour through care/support actions.

The purpose of this study was to explore how life-design-based counselling can influence young learners’ academic self-construction within a group context. The study involved a qualitative mode of enquiry with 12 participants. Life-design-based intervention strategies, together with various (postmodern) qualitative techniques, were used to gather data. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and identify themes and sub-themes. The findings indicate that the participants exhibited enhanced academic self-construction in general after the intervention. More specifically, they displayed improved future aspirations as they made sense of their current learning. Future research could assess the feasibility and value of life-design counselling as early as the primary school years, as it seems to hold numerous benefits for young individuals that may positively influence their life-long career development.
