Breaking the cycle

Training Course

23-29 May 2024 | Daugirdiškės, Lithuania

"Breaking the Cycle" is a 7-day training course, that will focus on mental health awareness, getting a better understanding of oneself, and self-empowerment. The aim is to start building connections, outside in the community and within.

There is still a stigma prevailing in our culture that asking for help is a sign of weakness. We are scared to be vulnerable.
We are too preoccupied with our busy schedules to care about our well-being, let alone listen to the struggles of a friend or another person. In often cases we do not even fully understand our own needs and the reasons for our pain.
Our mentality and perception are in the way of making society more inclusive and supportive. 
During this training course, we want to talk about emotions, traumas, our inner selves and grow empathy for ourselves and others.

Objectives of the project:

  • Raise awareness and shift people’s mindset about mental well-being;
  • Enhance participants’ competencies in active listening, stress management, and psychological First Aid;
  • To provide participants with non-formal and informal tools and techniques for mental well-being to improve their daily work with youth;
  • Sharing good practices among participating countries;
  • To strengthen participants’ knowledge of the Erasmus+ Programme and provide the opportunity to brainstorm and work on future projects related to the topics of mental well-being.

Profile of participants:

- Sufficient knowledge of English;
- Actively working with people;
- Interested in the topic;
- Interest in personal development & better self-understanding.

We contribute to the organization of their leisure time, the implementation of youth initiatives, and the promotion of volunteering activities.
