What's about...

“Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body” is a project aiming to explore the connection between mental and physical health, promoting holistic well-being among young people.

Through the implementation of a Youth Exchange activity, we aim to engage young people in activities that address both aspects, fostering a deeper understanding of the importance of a balanced lifestyle.

More specifically, we wish to work with young people to develop their sense of understanding and knowledge in matters of health (both physical and mental), as well as to train them and develop their skills in promoting well-being among their peers by sharing healthy habits related to nutrition and physical activity.

Objectives...

The key objectives of the project are, for the theoretical part:

Discuss the idea of health and how it has developed over the years
Learn more about the factors that affect our health and well-being (diet, activities,
stress, socializing etc.)
Discuss the perks of proper diet and exercising regularly
Raise awareness on the importance of mental health in our post covid reality
Break the taboo of visiting the psychologist and asking for help when needed

For the training and skills:

Train youth on raising awareness, youth advocacy, and becoming ambassadors
Work in a multicultural environment, promoting inclusion and respect for each other
Enhance young participants’ competencies, in digital means when developing campaigns for social media and their peers
Host sports tournaments and try out various sports, raising youth’s confidence
