Young people face different issues related to the challenges of adolescence and the transition period which may include self-perception and self-management, school, family and relationship challenges. When young people get overstressed or find the pressure too high to manage, the consequences for their well-being and mental health are destructive behaviours such as self-harming, mild depression, difficult relationships at home and with friends, anger management issues, low self-esteem and self-confidence, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, disengagement, isolation and dropping out from education. According to WHO, mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realises his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can make a contribution to his or her community”. If mental health is ill it influences every aspect of the life of a person, both emotional, physical, professional and social. It is important to strengthen well-being to prevent reacting to possible challenges young people can face in the transition period from childhood to adulthood. The ill mental health is one of the prerequisites of social exclusion. Well-being is one of the core qualities of life and a prerequisite for the constant development of a young person's potential, readiness to take responsibility and care about their life, build healthy relationships, choose educational and professional paths, and be autonomous and active members of society. Therefore, it is important to invest in raising awareness of young people about well-being issues and the development of skills to be able to deal with challenging moments of their lives and smoothly go through the transition period of their development. Our project aimed to create a safe space for young people to talk openly about challenges and issues related to wellbeing and mental health and support each other, through workshops and non-formal education activities, to help developing skills and becoming advocates for positive change and help young people thrive and build a brighter future together. This project gathered together young people from Latvia, Estonia, Spain, Portugal and Greece to: -raise awareness and explore together the topic of well-being and realities of young people in different countries -to experience non-formal education (NFE) activities to let youngsters better understand well-being role in their everyday life -to develop skills for strengthening well-being, and experience and plan together actions to generally improve the quality of their life and the life of other young people from their countries -to introduce the Erasmus+ program as a tool for personal growth and cultural exchange -to improve language skills and find new friends and partners -to learn new cultures and traditions of participant’s countries, learn how to behave in a multicultural society, develop social competence in an intercultural environment -to gain the above-mentioned competencies and skills through the Youthpass process -to learn about Youthpass and its potential. The objectives of this youth exchange project directly correlated with the priorities outlined in European policy documents, particularly the European Youth Goals and the Erasmus+ Programme. European Youth goals define well-being and mental health as priority aspects of the life of young people and a priority area to be thoroughly paid attention to when developing up-to-date policy initiatives and youth work responses. Our project addressed this priority, we contributed to the overarching goal of promoting the holistic development of young people and aimed to prevent mental health challenges. By enhancing the personal and professional development of young people through non-formal and informal learning our project empowered participants with opportunities to develop key-competences. Through experiential learning and cross- cultural exchanges, participants gained valuable insights and perspectives that contributed to their personal and professional growth. Our project embraced values of inclusion, diversity, and equal opportunities by bringing together young people from diverse backgrounds and creating an inclusive space where all voices were heard and respected, encouraging also those who have fewer opportunities to speak up and get confidence. By fostering mutual understanding and respect among participants, we contributed to building a more inclusive society where everyone has equal opportunities. The Erasmus+ Programme aims to support sustainable growth, quality jobs, and social cohesion. Our project contributed to these objectives by empowering young people to become active citizens who care about themselves and others, are engaged in their communities and committed to positive social change.
