Given the ongoing pandemic and its impact on mental and general health, especially that of young people, the project developed by this particular group aimed to address the problem of declining well being among young people. Due to the restrictions on movement and social gatherings following the COVID -19 pandemic, the project's partners identified various problems among the young people who have participated in their workshops, such as feelings of isolation and loneliness that eventually lead to anxiety and stress. The workshops enabled the group concerned to actively participate in finding and solving the problems they found challenging. Considering that stress is a major problem in adolescent groups, more attention should be paid to this issue. Since most people of all ages find it difficult to cope with stress, they often find it easier to seek relief in mind-altering activities such as watching TV or scrolling through social media. Since stress leads not only to weaker performance but also to a lack of willpower and a general feeling of tiredness, these types of activities seem ideal for relieving pressure. However, this leads to an inability, or rather unwillingness, to take care of their physical health and be active. The effects of stress can often be so overwhelming that it is easier to find comfort in escapism than to address the real problem. Instead of labeling people who seek comfort in their stress as lazy, the solution should be sought in better understanding their mental state and incorporating an active lifestyle into their daily routine in a way that is not overwhelming and makes it another stressor. To incorporate physical activity into young people's lives in a less strenuous way, activities such as dancing were applied. Numerous benefits for general health have been confirmed in relation to physical activity, i.e. dance. Regular exercise is associated with better blood circulation, which leads to an increase in muscle mass, it also improves flexibility and joint response, and leads to overall better strength. While the effects of regular exercise on physical well-being are clear, its impact on mental health is often overlooked. A better and stronger body, as well as feeling active, brings many mental and emotional benefits. These result from the release of serotonin, which was promoted during exercise. This neurotransmitter, which is produced in the central nervous system, affects sensations of happiness, sleep and wakefulness, appetite, nausea, and learning ability, and is thus the key to actual recovery from the detrimental effects of stress. The goal of this initiative was to employ dance as a stress-reduction technique and to make it a healthy coping mechanism. The project's goals were following: to identify and address stressors and stress-related consequences that concerned the participants To familiarize participants with stress manifestations To use dance as a platform for learning effective coping methods To highlight the benefits of physical and social exercise for general health and to encourage participants to engage in such activities more frequently To improve intercultural understanding and a sense of EU identity To promote Erasmus+ and the opportunities available to EU youth.
