The summer you stop performing your life and start living it.
In Collaboration With:
The SparkJoy Program
Your future needs THE REAL YOU
R.O.O.T.S is SparkJoy’s signature transformation curriculum — a structured journey through five pillars that helps young Thai people understand their story, release what they’ve outgrown, and return home with a direction they chose for themselves.
Come for the degree. Go home knowing who you are.
Most Thai graduates followed every rule — and still arrived at the finish line not knowing who they are.
They invested years in education. Almost nothing in knowing themselves.
SparkJoy closes that gap. One summer in Amsterdam — academic excellence and inner transformation, running side by side — so you return home not just qualified, but whole.
The Problem
Capable. Qualified. Quietly lost.
The Missing Piece
You can’t build the right life without knowing yourself first.
The Answer
One summer. Two transformations. A direction that’s truly yours.
The only summer you need to come home whole.
Four weeks in Amsterdam.
A lifetime of knowing yourself.
Academic Excellence
Credited courses at VU Amsterdam or the University of Amsterdam. Real qualifications, world-class faculty, international classroom — a transcript that opens doors back home and across the world.
Transformation Program
SparkJoy’s signature transformation curriculum runs alongside your academic track. Weekly sessions designed to help you understand your story, release what you’ve outgrown, and build intentional direction for what comes next.
Complete Life Package
Housing in Amsterdam arranged. Visa support provided. Airport guidance included. You focus on growing — we handle everything else. Optional free-exploration period after the program to travel Europe independently.
The R.O.O.T.S Framework
Where the real you finally has room to grow.
Regulate
Before any self-discovery can occur, the nervous system must feel safe. Every session begins with somatic regulation — breath, body, movement, and sensory grounding — so that participants can access their deeper selves without threat response.
Open
Carefully sequenced vulnerability-building opens participants gradually. No forced sharing. Storytelling, metaphor, and experiential prompts invite authentic expression on the participant's own timeline.
Orient
Evidence-based frameworks help young people make sense of what they discover — personality, values, attachment, emotions, identity — giving language and structure to inner experience without reducing it.
Test
Carefully designed challenges — social, physical, creative, and emotional — allow participants to try on new versions of themselves in a safe container. This is where identity expansion actually happens: in action, not theory.
Share
Witnessed transformation deepens through intentional sharing — with the group, with a partner, in a journal, in ritual. Being seen in one's growth creates the emotional memory that lasts beyond the program.
