According to American psychologist Harry Harlow's research, human beings need touch almost as powerfully as they need basic necessities like food and water. When people lack love and touch in their lives this can also result in bodily self-harm, such as in eating disorders or self-mutilation, as well as unhealthy sexual behavior - engaging in casual, unprotected sex with multiple partners, and harmful habits (alcohol or drugs, turning to ''comfort foods'', constant negativity, etc.). Also, from what we have observed in our communities and [especially with the new-comers] in our organizations, it seems that young people are either afraid to initiate physical contact because of the fear of rejection or - on the contrary - use inappropriate touch because of their desire for attention, and lacking the understanding of simple boundaries of personal space of themselves and others. Seeing the need to address this topic within our communities, we wished to realize the project Cuddlenation with the GOAL to develop the competences of the participants to give and receive physical touch with ease, love, and respect. We wished to create the YE Cuddlenation as a space where participants could learn from each other and share experiences, methods and tools regarding conscious body movement and touch with other young people from different countries and backgrounds. The set OBJECTIVES of Cuddlenation were: - to gather a group of 30 young people from 6 different countries and backgrounds, out of whom 1/3 would be with fewer opportunities, - to create a safe space for the participants to explore consensual, respectful and loving touch and its different forms, - to raise self-awareness of the participants' personal space and limits, define healthy boundaries regarding physical touch, as well as initiate respectful contact with others, - to share different tools, methods and activities connected to mindful and conscious body movement and touch with each other, - for the participants to learn to connect to others in a deeply meaningful way, fostering a sense of belonging to a community, - for every participant to create personal easy-to-use guidelines for use in their daily life, learn to use them in situations that involve physical contact, and share their learning outcomes with the target groups, - to implement a minimum of 5 follow-up activities [one per country] addressing the topics of Cuddlenation.
