Young people today are facing serious challenges. Many live with constant stress, anxiety, and pressure to succeed, while spending long hours on their phones or computers. According to Eurostat (2023), more than 27% of European young people are physically inactive, and mental health is one of their top concerns (European Youth Forum, 2023). Opportunities to explore creativity or understand brain science in a practical way are rare, especially in schools and rural communities. We ran a survey (Annex 01) with 36 young people from our six partner countries: • 72% said they feel stressed every day. • 60% want more creative opportunities. • 50% have never joined Erasmus+ before. Here’s what they told us: “I live in a rural area; there’s nothing for mental health or sports here.” – Participant, Poland “I want to learn how to manage anxiety but schools don’t teach this.” – Participant, Italy This project will create a safe space for young people to come together, learn practical skills for their wellbeing, and discover how movement, creativity, and brain science connect. It will also give a voice to youth who rarely have access to such programmes. Our Objectives: • Give participants 10+ hours of sport and movement activities plus 3 mindfulness sessions to improve health and reduce stress. • Teach the basics of neuroscience and habit building in 2 simple workshops. • Build emotional intelligence and creativity through 4 creative workshops; each participant will create 1 personal artwork or media piece. • Develop soft skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership through active roles in group work. • Increase cultural understanding with intercultural evenings and shared traditions. • Introduce all participants to Erasmus+, with a goal for 50% of newcomers to join another Erasmus+ project within a year. • Create lasting tools: a Mind in Motion Toolkit, educational videos, and a Photo & Art Exhibition. • Train young people as multipliers who can pass on what they’ve learned through follow-up events. We want this project to show that youth work can mix sport, science, and art to help young people live healthier, happier lives.
