ℹ️ Description About The Opportunity
Why start from YOU(W) when building a safe and stress-less learning environment? What are the basics for youth workers, facilitators, leaders and mentors to be the model for emotional regulation of young people? How to create SEL activities for the promotion of mental health and wellbeing by using NFE to design stress management workshops for young people
Young people look to their youth workers, facilitators, mentors not only for knowledge and for information but they also look at them how they handle emotions, stress, and challenges. If an educator is emotionally aware and models self-regulation, it signals safety and trust. This is essential for establishing supportive relationships with youngsters. Otherwise would be almost impossible to engaged them because-no connection, no learning. Only more stress and more pressure.
This training course focuses on developing two main competences of emotional intelligence: self- awareness and self-regulation of educator. This 2in1 are fundamental for stres-managment and development of resiliencein youth work. Starting from positive approach in mental health in which dealing with daily stress is a skill that can be learned and improved, through a holistic blend of body-brain based techniques, tools for development of emotional literacy we incorporate all in non-formal education (NFE) practices. It offers youth workers a space to reflect, recharge, and learn how to empower young people to cope with the challenges of daily life. Participants will explore the existing realities of mental health education opportunities for young people across participating countries and examine how youth work and NFE principles can promote positive mental health. Through interactive methods, the course delves into different standpoints and perspectives about stress, the causes of stress, its psychological and physical manifestations—including the GAS model—as our body’s way to solve the problem perceived by the brain. Throughout the training, participants will experience and practice a variety of stress regulation techniques, from conscious breathing and body awareness exercises to emotional regulation tools and other social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies. These methods are designedto help youth workers support both their own well-being and that of the young people they engage with A significant focus is placed on applying what is learned: participants will work in small teams to co-create small SEL based methodologies, stress management workshops and anti-stress fitness activities. All these can be later implemented in their local communities or virtual settings, ensuring real-world application.
