🇳🇴🧠🤝 Erasmus+ Training Course in Norway – Mental Health in Youth Work: Promoting Wellbeing, Resilience & Supportive Youth Environments 🇳🇴✨

🌱 Project Overview
This Erasmus+ Training Course takes place in Norway 🇳🇴 and focuses on strengthening the role of youth workers in promoting mental health, wellbeing, and resilience among young people. The training approaches mental health from a promotion and prevention perspective, fully aligned with youth work values and practices — not therapy or clinical intervention.

🔄 Reflect on everyday youth work practices
