Resumen

Adolescence is a crucial stage for the construction of a life project (LP). In Peru, given the socio-economic condi-tions, this process involves multiple challenges. In respon-se, a psychoeducational intervention was carried out in a public school in the south of Lima. The aim was to com-plicate the vision of the life project, as well as to translate expectations into concrete and achievable goals. The evaluation consisted of interviews and final products of the in-tervention. The results indicate that although adolescents have clarity about their occupational expectations, they face difficulties in planning and identifying resources and barriers. Efforts were made to develop planning strategies for creating an achievable life project. After the intervention, improvements were reflected in the understanding and planning of life projects, but challenges such as the influence of economic precariousness and family dynamics remain.
