The “GOOD4YOUth” project idea stems from specific emerging needs of adolescents and young people from all backgrounds, especially those with fewer opportunites, part of our communities at different levels and in many geographical areas characterised by similar situations concerning this target group. The mixed and varied population - above introduced when referring to the change led by the applicant organisation at the community level - observed and directly involved also in the genesis of this project comprises children, adolescents and young people, from different cultures, and with different habits and beliefs, but are none the less remarkably similar in terms of desires and expectations for the future. Taking care of these young people on a daily basis, whether they live in Camini or other places where the partner organisations work, the professional staff and the youth workers involved in this project’s idea have noticed their general lack of standardised healthy habits, especially as regards healthy eating in teenage years. The healthcare professionals and youth workers directly involved at the grassroots level have become aware of the need for these young people to converge around a shared culture of “wellness” associated with a healthy lifestyle. They have long been mindful of a holistic sense of wellness as a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing. For some time, they have been considering how to better deal with the need to start prioritising self-care, focusing in particular on those activities that benefit stressed populations (considering refugees, especially children, have often experienced trauma related to war or persecution that may affect their mental and physical health), including meditation, mindfulness practice, healthy sleep regime, regular exercise, appropriate nutrition for optimal growth and development and control of weight gain. In this context, self-care is seen as a tool for disease prevention, personal empowerment, and lifelong resilience. Moreover, once instilled, it can be passed on to future generations. It is, indeed, fundamental for youth to explore and integrate improved self-care habits in order to fully express their potential and being the fully in charge of their own wellbeing. It is widely recognised that good nutrition plays an important role in the optimal growth, development, health and wellbeing of individuals in all stages of life, especially youth. Healthy eating can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, stroke and some types of cancer. The promotion of good health at the EU level is an integral part of the policy framework “Health 2020 Strategy”, whose thematic priorities are the promotion of health, the prevention of diseases, and fostering supportive environments for healthy lifestyles, taking into account the “health in all policy (HiAP)” approach. Other policy of direct relevance connects this project proposal with the Erasmus+ programme through the “EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027” which comprises 11 different European Youth Goals. One of this, the fifth, is devoted to “Mental Health & Wellbeing” and aims to support the health and wellbeing of young people, with a strong focus on promoting mental and sexual health, physical activity, education on nutrition, and healthy lifestyles. This strategy robustly promotes cooperation between schools, youth workers, health professionals and sport organisations to achieve its aims in seeking to make health facilities more accessible and attractive to young people. The project also seeks to create a shared culture of youth wellbeing at the transnational level, where national frameworks are not necessarily helpful, effective or attractive to young people. Work at the grassroots level, starting locally and making the most of different experiences from different countries, will allow the participating organisations and individual participants to acquire a better awareness and understanding of how to improve their lives (for young learners, by taking part in the youth exchange, for example) or the lives of those they work with (for youth workers). In order to reach this aim, the project partners aim is to implement an high quality training course and at allowing a truly participatory youth exchange to also increase the quality of the EU projects they manage by providing youth workers with the most advanced tools and knowledge to encourage their own self-development as well raise awareness on youth well-being issues and transfer skills on youth work approaches to self-care and health issues. They also aim at involving young people with fewer opportunities and suffering of health inequalities experiment a real healthy week, with the support of a high-quality methodology to led positive overall effects on participant’s health, including a reduction of health inequalities, and a positive impact on quality of life, preventing major diseases.
