LISBON, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

     A new and innovative training program invites young adults to travel in 
search of personal and professional development. The YourBestLife organization 
believes that cultural interaction and mutual learning are ways to develop 
skills increasingly important to companies while actively contributing to a 
better world. Applications open until November 2019 at

    Develop interpersonal competences, impact communities and inspire with 
stories and actions are the mission of YourBestLife, a program that takes seven 
participants across 10 countries in four different continents over a period of 
six months. The program's pillars (1. Belonging & Fun, 2. Social Impact, 3. 
Life Career) will guide the activities, which include leisure, volunteering and 
learning.

    Recognizing the benefits of travel, the goal of the program is to give more 
people the opportunity to gain knowledge that comes directly from intercultural 
experiences, contributing to the person's development as a fully-actualized 
human being and as a citizen of the world. For this, all expenses are 
covered-including flights, food, accommodation, insurance and activities-in 
addition to $1,500 USD per month to each participant for extras.

    The program intends to be the beginning of a "humanizers" movement, made by 
people who want to bring the world closer together by contributing through 
actions large or small, conducted in a non-invasive and tolerant way, 
integrated with local communities. This movement is highlighted by the Social 
Impact pillar of the program, which focus on three global challenges: 
environmental preservation, wildlife protection and social entrepreneurship.

    The participants in the inaugural program are world citizens between 18-35 
years old, each embodying a different and complementary profile: traveller, 
never-travelled, adventurer, communicator, storyteller, storywriter and 
changemaker. The destination countries-Costa Rica, Peru, South Africa, Reunion 
Island, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Indonesia, Ireland and Portugal-were chosen in 
order to offer a global vision in terms of location, climate, culture and 
challenges.

    The selection process is conducted by Randstad Portugal, a recognized 
multinational human resources company, which guarantees the precision of the 
participants' selection. Randstad Portugal is one of the main partners of the 
project, as are Sony, Skyhour and WeChangers. WeChangers is a social action 
start-up that will choose 25 local charities to be supported by the program 
through monetary contributions and volunteer work by the participants.
