Toolbox of activities focused on mental health
Toolbox made by participants of the project full of educational activities focused on mental health.
Aims of the tool
To provide young people activities on the topic of mental health.
Description of the tool
This toolbox was created as an outcome of the Erasmus+ two-phase youth exchange “Mind Growth Odyssey”, held in Moravec (Czechia) and Alicante (Spain). The project brought together young people from across Europe to explore the topics of mental health, emotional well-being, and youth empowerment in today’s fast-paced world.
During the first phase, participants deepened their understanding of Erasmus+ opportunities, learned about key principles of mental well-being, and developed essential teamwork skills. In the second phase, the roles shifted and it was the youth who took the lead. With guidance from experienced facilitators and leaders, participants designed and delivered their own workshops and activities on the mental health topics that resonated the most with them.
This collection gathers those peer-created workshops and exercises, serving as an inspiration and practical resource for youth workers, educators, and facilitators who wish to engage young people in meaningful conversations and experiential learning around mental well-being.
The activities included here foster self-awareness, empathy, communication, leadership, and teamwork while encouraging creativity and active participation. Most of them can be easily adapted for different age groups and settings, using accessible and low-cost materials to ensure inclusivity and sustainability.
Above all, this toolbox reflects the spirit of the project:
empowering youth through action and promoting mental
health as a shared responsibility, approached with openness, compassion, and creativity.
