In the CNE programme, the PLP is a tool used to build a path to happiness, towards the ideal of the New Man – developed particularly in CNE’s 18-22 years old section – in this context, a personal life plan depends on understanding existence as a reply to a call that requires free choice.

In this context, affection and sexuality both need to form part of a life plan and should not be experienced superficially in a search for purely selfish happiness.

A personal life plan incorporates affection and sexuality as constituent parts that are essential to a happy, meaningful life.
