The project has been designed as a direct response to the growing mental health challenges faced by young people across Europe. Stress, anxiety, sadness, and feelings of disconnection are increasingly common among youth, while traditional forms of therapy are not always accessible, affordable, or culturally accepted. Youth workers , who are often on the front line in supporting young people, frequently lack the tools and confidence to address these issues in ways that are creative, inclusive, and non-clinical. This project therefore aims to strengthen their capacity to respond effectively to these challenges, using the resources of art, culture, movement, and nature as practical tools for emotional support and resilience-building. The main aim of the project is to equip youth workers with creative and easy-to-use methodologies that can be directly applied in their daily practice with young people. Participants will be trained in at least three to four art-based approaches inspired by integrative art psychotherapy, including visual arts (painting, collage, drawing), drama and theatre (improvisation, role-play, theatre games), storytelling and myths (narratives as tools for meaning-making and emotional expression), nature-based activities (outdoor mindfulness, land art, use of natural materials), and movement and play (dance, group games, body-based exercises). By engaging with these methods first-hand, youth workers will be able to experience their impact personally, reflect on how they can be transferred to their own contexts, and design workshops tailored to the specific needs of the young people they work with. The project also aims to improve facilitation skills among participants, giving them confidence to guide creative workshops and discussions about emotions in safe and constructive ways. Through practice, peer feedback, and reflection, they will strengthen their ability to hold group processes, manage dynamics, and adapt activities to diverse cultural and social contexts. These skills are directly applicable to everyday youth work and teaching, where the ability to create safe and engaging spaces for young people is essential. Another important objective is to support the personal well-being of youth workers and themselves. By engaging in creative self-expression, reflection, and self-care activities, participants will strengthen their own resilience, reduce stress, and develop healthier strategies for balancing the emotional demands of their work. This, in turn, increases their long-term capacity to support young people without burnout or compassion fatigue. The project is also highly result-oriented. It will produce a digital toolkit (PDF/e-book) that gathers the workshop plans, creative methods, and reflections developed during the training. This resource will be shared freely online, making the results accessible to a wide range of youth workers, , NGOs, and schools, even beyond the partnership. By creating a tangible product, the project ensures that learning outcomes are not only personal but also transferable and sustainable. From the perspective of youth work practice, the project aims to demonstrate that youth work can play an active and recognised role in supporting mental and emotional health. By integrating innovative art-based methods into non-formal education, the project strengthens the quality of youth work and positions it as a relevant and responsive field that complements other systems of support. It also promotes inclusivity, as creative and experiential methods are often more accessible for young people with fewer opportunities, limited language skills, or resistance to formal therapy. The project also contributes to broader European priorities. Through green transition, it uses nature-based and sustainable practices that foster environmental awareness alongside well-being. Through digital transformation, it integrates digital storytelling and online sharing of results, equipping youth workers with new digital competences. Through participation in democratic life, it uses art and creativity to help young people explore identity, belonging, and civic engagement. In this way, the project not only addresses urgent needs but also aligns with long-term policy goals. In summary, the objectives of the project are: To train 30 youth workers and in at least three to four art-based methodologies for supporting youth well-being. To improve participants’ facilitation skills, confidence, and adaptability in leading creative workshops. To strengthen participants’ self-care and resilience, ensuring their long-term ability to support young people. To create a digital toolkit with ready-to-use workshops, ensuring sustainability and transferability. To prepare for a follow-up youth exchange, where young people will directly experience and further develop these creative approaches.
