Human interaction struggles as the digital world continues to dominate our lives and is especially impacting the wellbeing of young people. Communication can already be hard between human beings, but when there is the added element of social media, it can become especially hard to get out from behind a screen. The “Mindful Youth” project aims to enhance the skills and competencies of youth workers through a blended mobility of online seminars and on-site trainings. .
Additionally, the project aims to accomplish the following:
● Mental Health in the Digital Age;
● Emotional Wellbeing in the Digital Age;
● Creating a Culture of Wellbeing in Youth Organizations.

Preparatory Trainings
We discussed embracing mindfulness to help create positive mental health in a digital age. With all the over-stimulation youths receive on a daily basis, it is crucial to embody a mindfulness practice of some sort. Whether it is meditation, breathing, or simply connecting outside with nature, mindfulness practices have been proven to have a beneficial impact on mental health. We live in a busy, fast-paced society and taking time to slow down and reflect is not only useful, but very important. Mindfulness is bringing our attention and awareness to the present moment we are experiencing. We need to protect ourselves in this digital world we live in.
On March 6, the second online training of our Erasmus+ project named "Mindful Youth" took place. The training provided education on Mental Health and Emotional Intelligence, and Emotional Wellbeing in the Digital Age.
On April 17th, the final online training of our Erasmus+ project titled "Mindful Youth" took place. The training provided education on how to create well-being in youth organizations and daily life.
