Seminar
25-27 February 2019 | Helsinki, Finland
Young people's health and well-being is a permanent priority in Erasmus+ Youth in Action and it is also highlighted in the European Youth Strategy. Many promoters have chosen it as a theme in their projects, but it is also a theme that comes up universally in all our work with young people. As educators we have the duty to support the mental, physical and social well-being of the young we work with.
The Nordic Seminar highlights research results and general understanding about the well-being of Nordic young people. It offers tools and good practices for supporting young people's well-being in Erasmus+ projects and youth work in general. Practicioners outside the Erasmus+ projects will share their expertise, whereas project promoters present their working ways too.
Health and well-being are a wide topic to look at. The seminar will concentrate on four strands of well-being:
Young people's mental health is the overriding topic that comes up on many levels: statistics and research, general understanding of mental health, practical tools for supporting mental health and project examples of good practices. The programme starts with a more general look and dives deeper into understanding during the days.
Healthy lifestyle can include many aspects relevant for your project and youth work. Topics that can be tackled include e.g. outdoor activities, sports, healthy body images, drugs and alcohol, sexual health and healthy food.
Empowerment links to the support that some young people need in order to take part in activities or in life as general. Good waysof empowering young people with fewer opportunities exist in projects and organisations.
Belonging is a basic human need. We have the need to have social contacts and friendships. We suffer, when we are excluded. How can we fight back loneliness?
Objectives of the seminar
The programme consists of inputs of external experts, workshops on relevant topics, project presentations and sharing of practical tools. Workshops are interactive and many tools can be transferred into own work.
The participants for the seminar come from Erasmus+ Youth in Action projects that are currently ongoing or starting very soon. If the project period of your project is ongoing or you have been approved in the October application round in 2018, you are an eligible participant.
