Objectives

By implementing the project we wanted to provide skills and tools for nurturing mental health, improve self-esteem. Project Objectives: 1. Creating a Safe Space for Dialogue and Reducing Stigma: Our primary objective is to create a safe and supportive environment where young people, aged 17 to 20, from diverse backgrounds, can engage in open and honest dialogues about their mental health struggles. Participants will actively contribute to reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues by sharing their experiences and concerns. 2. Boosting Self-Esteem and Self-Belief: We aim to enhance the self-esteem and self-belief of young participants in the project, empowering them to feel confident and good about themselves and believe in their abilities. 3. Enhancing Emotional Resilience and Coping Skills: Through a variety of activities, including art creation and outdoor mindfulness training, our goal is to equip young people with the practical skills needed to effectively manage anxiety and fear. This will promote emotional resilience, ensuring participants remain emotionally strong and in good mental health both during and after the project. 4. Developing Interpersonal Skills and Life Competences: We aspire to foster the development of essential interpersonal skills among participants, helping them build stronger connections with others. By engaging in activities that promote teamwork and communication, our young people can acquire life competences that will serve them well in their future endeavors. 5. Inspiring Hope for a Brighter Future: Our objective is to inspire hope in young people, enabling them to envision a brighter tomorrow. We will provide them with tools and guidance to set meaningful goals and navigate life transitions with confidence. 6. Promoting Cross-Cultural Learning and Global Perspective: We aim to offer young people the opportunity to immerse themselves in other cultures, fostering cross-cultural understanding and empathy. This will provide participants with a broader view of the world and a deeper understanding of themselves through exposure to diverse perspectives. 7. Strengthen the partnerships. Our project will strengthen partnerships among Loisto Setlementti and Plis, enhancing the effectiveness of youth work across borders and creating foundation for future joint projects.
