Aim:

The project aims to empower youth participants, who are youth/social workers, young entrepreneurs, and trainers, to integrate mental health coping skills and mechanisms into their daily work, fostering resilience and well-being among their peers.

 

Objectives:

  • To equip youth participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to enhance their competence in youth work, focusing on mental health awareness and coping strategies.
  • To provide participants with practical tools and resources for effectively addressing mental health struggles among their peers, thereby promoting improved work performance and overall well-being within their communities.
  • To facilitate a supportive and collaborative environment where youth participants can share experiences, insights, and best practices related to mental health, fostering mutual learning and collective empowerment

The training course methodology follows non-formal education principles, emphasizing participant-centered approaches. It prioritizes active participation, mutual learning, and the exchange of experiences and best practices in mental health and youth work.

We guarantee the establishment of a safe and secure environment, offering experiential learning opportunities and encouraging active participation from each participant. The program incorporates experiential learning activities that necessitate gadgets-free and alcohol-free/detox days, as well as mindfulness practices such as mindful eating, communication, and body-oriented workshops. Participants who adhere to these requirements are warmly welcomed to join the program.

 

Profile of participants:

  • Age Requirement: Participants must be aged between 20 and 30 years old.
  • Dissemination and Follow-up: Encourage local sharing of project outcomes during dissemination and follow-up activities.
  • Active Participation: Collaborate, share ideas, present, and express yourself openly. Openness to Diversity: Embrace diverse cultures and viewpoints.
  • Full Participation: Ensure availability for all activities; exceptions are limited to emergencies, illness, or essential work/school tasks.
  • Collective Responsibility: Maintain cleanliness as a collective duty; all participants must assist with daily cleaning to ensure a safe and hygienic environment.
  • Adaptability: Participants should be open-minded and prepared to stay in a scout hut within a forest, sharing bedrooms with up to 8 people, and be prepared for nature, including mosquitoes—this is not a city hotel experience.

 

Travel costs and reimbursement:

Under Erasmus+ regulations, travel expenses are reimbursed based on the cheapest available options, requiring original receipts, tickets, invoices, boarding passes, etc. Participants are expected to remain for the entire training course, with the option to arrive/stay up to 3 days extra at their own expense. Costs incurred outside of these dates are the responsibility of the participant, and there is no reimbursement for travel with long breaks or indirect routes.

Please, don’t buy any tickets before consulting us and receiving an e-mail with our approval of your itinerary. All travel arrangements must be exchanged and confirmed by CYN director Halmat Faraidon, Hhf@cyn.dk

Please use public transportation for your travels and ensure that you retain ALL your tickets. Reimbursement of travel expenses will be based on the most economical transport fares, and participants must present the ORIGINAL relevant receipts and tickets for reimbursement. Costs for taxi rides and business class travel will not be reimbursed.

Reimbursement will be provided in Euros, regardless of the currency indicated on the ticket or receipt/invoice. Any tickets purchased in a local currency other than Euros will be converted and calculated according to the exchange rate.
