Abstract: | Ikigai is a Japanese concept that combines the terms iki, meaning “alive” or “life”, and gai, meaning “benefit” or “worth”. As a concept it encourages lifelong self-fulfilment and a purpose-inspired learning journey. Individuals are encouraged to maximise their potential whilst being focused on personal interests and goals as they align with what the world needs. Within this process one critically reflects on what they want to be recognised for. Ikigai and Home Economics go hand-in-hand. Home Economics has historical roots in helping individuals and families make the best use of available resources, keeping in mind both human and environmental wellbeing. |
