โน๏ธ Description About The Opportunity
Aims of the activity:
The training will bring together 25 participants from Program Countries (defined by the Erasmus+ guide).
The aim of the training course is to strengthen youth workers competences in promoting mental well-being by combining theoretical knowledge about wellbeing and mental health, with experiential outdoor learning and non-formal education methods that can be applied in work with young people.
Objectives:
1. Increase their knowledge and understanding of mental well-being, its different dimensions, and factors.
2. Raise awareness about common stigmas and stereotypes related to mental well-being.
3. Experience and explore the potential of nature and outdoor environments as spaces for reflection, personal development, connection, and well-being promotion.
4. Exchange experiences and good practices with other youth workers, strengthening cooperation and peer learning around wellbeing-focused youth work.
Profile of the participants:
The training course is addressed to youth workers, youth leaders, educators, facilitators, and active members of youth organisations who are interested in exploring the connection between mental well-being, nature, and non-formal education.
We are looking for participants from the Program countries, as defined in the Erasmus+ program guide. Participants using the green transportation (bus, train) will be prioritised.
