Objectives

Mental health and well-being is one of the key 11 European Youth goals in the current Youth strategy till 2027. The research made by several National Agencies of European countries in 2022 on the young people’ s psychoemotional health situation due to Covid 19 restrictions demonstrates that young people became one hand more aggressive, rude and violent, on the other hand, also more closed, silent and unsocial, so there are clear influence on their communication skills. The overview of all possible programmes and approaches tried and the concluding suggestions say that the most efficient methods to support young people in improving their psychosocial mood and health are not “classic” methods, like consultations with psychologists and therapists that might scare young people even by the name of the procedure, but inclusive and participating approaches with gamification elements, creative, untraditional activities. We have seen in our practice how inspiring can be different types of cards – playing cards, cards games, metaphoric cards in youth work boardering with therapeutic effect. So, we want to bring together youth workers who work with different types of cards and are passionate of the cards idea, so that we can have a great experience exchange and a card tool-fare promoting strengthening young people’ s psychoemotional health supporting their communication and creativity. During the TC we plan also to create our own new card deck with new game rules for young people.
