The project idea is based on the active engagement of young people in community care for others and the world, as well as the role of community arts and leisure practices in addressing youth mental health. By developing a community support network for young people and using community art methods, we will create good practices for community care. This process will enable us to gather youth perspectives and engage in a constructive dialogue with decision-makers in the youth sector. Project goals: strengthen youth representation and voice, highlighting their experiences in mental health care, community practices, and responses to challenges within their communities; foster civic participation, recognize community responsibility for mental health, and support the visibility and development of community practices; develop a model for a youth community network; cultivate young people’s relationship with nature as a source of support and a foundation for sustainability and ecological awarenes
