Don’t stress, do your best!

We are a group of 9 people aged 18-22 from Poland who decided to deal with the ubiquitous pandemic in a creative and interesting way. The project focuses on the impact of pandemic stress on the relationships we create and on our effectiveness and future work readiness. During the project, we will learn ways to deal with stress, which will allow us to be more resilient, stronger, more flexible and good employees in the future, who will be able to function and work effectively even under pressure. We will be able to exchange experiences and insights regarding stress, we will meet specialists and take interesting actions, such as escape room, to prepare us to make decisions under time pressure. We will also meet people working in professions that generate a lot of stress and learn how to deal with it and be ready for different situations. We will get to know the point of view of not only employees, but also bosses, and we will learn how they deal with employee stress and how they motivate them to work, and what should be taken into account when applying for a specific position. The project also involves first aid classes, which we often avoid under stress because we are paralyzed by the fear that we will do something wrong. We want to get to know the point of view of people from other countries, establish new relationships and get out of our shells that we built during lonely, multiple home closings due to a pandemic. We want to take something positive from the long-term pandemic that has happened to us, which will give us a lot of satisfaction and will be a great help and support in the future.

We are looking for two 9-person groups aged 18-22 who would like to exchange experiences with us and take part in this type of project. In your application, please include information on how the participants were acquired, from what environments they come from and what they could bring to the project (experience, skills) as a group.
