Objectives

Mental Health raised awareness about mental health issues specific to the covid-19 pandemic effects and made youth understand the importance of physical and other stress-reducing activities for a healthier life, both from the mental and physical perspectives. We used interactive non-formal education methods in a multicultural context and various practical activities (hiking, outdoor team sports, yoga, meditation, laugh therapy, etc). The project: 1. increased awareness about the mental health issues associated with the covid-19 pandemic and help generated solutions through small but effective behavioral changes for the 60 young people participating, during the 11 activity days. 2. involved the 60 young people in practical learning activities, both physical (hiking, outdoor team sports, zip-line, canoeing) and mental (yoga, meditation, laugh therapy). A total of 8 methods will be used during the 11 activity days. 3. informed 60 young people from each of the communities of the project partners about the importance of understanding mental health issues during this pandemic and how important it is to create good habits (such as meditation, sports, yoga, etc), through local events organized by the young participants, supported by the partner organizations. 4. developed tools for promoting a healthy lifestyle on social media: TikTok account, Facebook page, Instagram account. The target is to reach 5000 young people in total.
