HESSA started from the desire to help people rediscover themselves, to identify their true vocation in life, doing everything with pleasure. HESSA is more than an association, a group of people or an idea, HESSA is a concept, it is the definition of what you wanted to be when you grow up, but you forgot along the way. HESSA is what you will find out about yourself, what you will find out that you wanted to become when you were small and without limits. HESSA is what you will become, thus keeping the promise to the person you were before being limited by limiting beliefs. HESSA is you, from then, from now, from the future. so who are you. HESSA was founded in 2023 at the initiative of a group of young adults who, after a moment of revelation, realized that childhood wishes can come to life in reality, if we think about them consciously and follow our path.

The purpose of the association is to help people discover themselves and the career they want to follow, the career that will make them happy and that gives them meaning in life
