“Project YOU” was a joint work of young people that felt too much pressure from the outer world which led to a serious burnout moment, but eventually caused a huge personality transformation and wish to help others notice the pathway to freedom. The aim of this youth exchange was to shift focus from unimportant but widely promoted social labels (such as having a university degree by the age of 25, stable family by 27 and a successful career by 30) to a healthy and stress free life, which brings joy, peace of mind and one’s satisfaction of life regardless of outer circumstances. The specific objectives of this project were helping young people to: • Improve self-confidence by confronting the fears and self-limiting beliefs that hold them back from living their dream lives; • Learn about the connection between accumulated negative feelings, attitudes, beliefs and mental/physical well-being; • Gain deeper self-awareness and rediscover one’s real personality; • Understand how to build and maintain a healthy relationship with other people and how to recognize “toxic” situations; • Get to know specific tools how to forgive and let go of the past; • Get inspired and motivated to start over at any age of life; • Learn how to deal with stress in a healthy way; • Provide a safe environment, where young people won’t be judged for the way they truly feel and be supported by their peers in overcoming any challenges. Overall we expected that “Project YOU” would help young people to launch a different track of their life, where the main priority and focus would be set on them.
