Our main goal with the project was to help young people better understand the connection between their mental well-being and the relationships they build with others. During the youth exchange, we wanted participants to reflect on how their emotions, communication style, and personal boundaries influence their friendships, romantic relationships, communication and work with others. A key objective was to increase participant's self-awareness. Through personal reflection sessions, small group discussions, and interactive workshops, participants explored their own relationship habits and emotional reactions. For example, during sessions on attachment styles and personal boundaries, many participants reflected on how they react in conflicts or stressful situations. These activites helped them better understand their needs and recognize how their behavior can affect others. Participants also explored how to recognise unhealthy relationship patterns and respond to them in a constructive way. In several workshops we used role-play situations and case studies where participants analyzed examples of manipulation, lack of boundaries, or poor communication. These activities helped them identify warning signs and discuss healthier ways of dealing with these situations. We also aimed to create a safe and supportive environment where young people could openly talk about mental health. In some of the participating countries this topic is still difficult to discuss. Throughout the exchange, daily reflection circles, personal talks and group discussions gave participants space to share personal experiences and challenges. Many participants mentioned that hearing similar experiences from others helped them feel less alone and more comfortable speaking about their emotions. A very important aspect of the project was intercultural learning. Participants came from seven different countries, and throughout the week they discussed how mental health and relationships are viewed in their own cultures. For example, during group discussions participants compared how openly people talk about emotions in their countries, how families approach mental health problems, and what social expectations exist around relationships (for example, as it turned out during the exchange, in Georgia it’s a less discussed topic, however in Denmark and Sweden they learn more about it at university and discuss among friends). This helped participants understand how cultural context shapes attitudes towards mental health and relationships. Another objective was to encourage peer learning and support. Most of the workshops were designed so participants could learn from each other rather than from facilitators. Participants shared personal stories, advice, experiences and coping strategies they use in difficult situations. This exchange of experiences created strong connections within the group and helped participants see different perspectives on similar challenges. The project’s goal was also that participants learn practical activities they can use in their daily lives for mental health. With communication exercises and conflict-resolution activities, they practiced expressing their needs clearly, setting boundaries, and listening to others with empathy. By practicing small everyday activities (journaling, yoga, nature walk), they started to develop habits to improve their mental wellbeing.
