The Covid-19 epidemic has changed all our lives in a major way, bringing us into a new reality almost overnight. The impact on the lives of children and adolescents has been particularly profound. We suddenly had to adapt to many radical changes, such as home-schooling, restrictions on public life, no contact, restrictions on movement, no travel. Young people, among whom mental distress is already a somewhat more common phenomenon, have found themselves in a situation that makes potential problems even more potent. We have seen an increasing number of cases of self-harm, panic attacks, numbness, withdrawals and suicide attempts among the younger generation. The hardships described were no longer confined to the socially weaker, but had become a new general reality. The project and the youth exchange highlighted and highlighted these themes. We actively raised awareness of the issues among young people and showed that these topics are not taboo and that raising awareness and encouraging conversation is an effective way to address the difficulties and problems among young people, as adolescence is a crucial period for developing effective and constructive ways of coping with stressful situations. We wanted to raise young people's awareness of the issue, as well as to present the possibilities and forms of help available to us. Throughout the project, we discovered together alternative ways for young people to get in touch with each other through social networks, got to know associations and organizations where young people can get in touch with each other and maintain relationships, and learned about the values and benefits of voluntary work, which could become a new way of spending free time, even during a pandemic. As young people are increasingly isolated and confined to the environment of their own homes, our aim was also to promote healthy lifestyles, physical activity and socializing in nature, and active leisure time, as physical well-being and mental health are closely linked. We provided a safe and friendly environment for the project participants to make new contacts, to express their fears and possible distresses, to learn to recognize them, to evaluate them and to find together ways in which young people can reconnect with each other, even in times of austerity and limitations. Through our common engagement, good practices were tested and identified, which were transferred by the youth exchange participants to the home environment of all the participating organizations. The aims of our project were to raise awareness and educate young people and the general public about mental distress and how to identify it; to learn what to do when we see someone in mental distress and where to find help; to find alternative ways of social contact that allow us to engage in a safe, friendly environment where young people are connected despite possible measures to prevent physical contact; and to encourage the general public to engage in healthy, active leisure activities; encouraging young people to volunteer and help others in need; promoting intercultural dialogue, acceptance of difference and diversity, strengthening European identity and values among young people; increasing young people's awareness of the various Erasmus+ projects; promoting critical thinking, non-formal learning and various competences (linguistic, communication, organizational and digital competences, creative and analytical thinking, the ability to work independently and as part of a team, fostering interpersonal and intercultural relations).
