“Thrive & Shine” is a youth exchange led by the Cyprus-based informal group Collective Intelligence, in collaboration with three other organizations: ASK Yourself (Romania), Promesas (Spain), and Centrinės Europos Tribūna (Lithuania). Our aim is to strengthen resilience, promote open discussions about mental health, and provide young people with the resources they require to take charge of their emotional health. Our project objectives are: 1.Help the 24 participants understand how social media can harm their mental health and equip them with strategies to reduce these negative impacts. 2.Teach the 24 participants a minimum of three mindfulness techniques they can use in daily life to manage stress and anxiety. 3.Encourage participants to become mental health ambassadors among their peers, empowering them to share the newly acquired knowledge and techniques, within their communities.
