OVER 40 MOTIVATED YOUNG PEOPLE, 10 DAYS, NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES….

After the successful fall youth exchange where the participants had the opportunity to create their own local initiatives, a new youth exchange will arrive in the spring called “Moving for Mental Health”.

Mental health and physical activity are inseparable concepts, and at the same time problems of modern society. Young people move less and less and spend their free time in their homes, while at the same time the number of mental illnesses in this population is increasing.

At the upcoming exchange, we decided to change exactly that and provide young people with motivation for change. Last week, we held a kick-off meeting with our partners, where we talked in more detail about the very concept of the exchange and the activities that will be used to achieve the set goals.

We will open applications soon, so follow us on social networks and take advantage of this opportunity!

The Argonauts Association implements the project as part of Accreditation for Youth, the strategic goal of which is to enable young people to actively participate in the social life of the local community and to empower young people through new knowledge, skills and competencies. Accreditation enables organizations, holders and partners to build capacity for work with young people and to adopt and develop new tools and methods of informal education for work with young people within the Argonaut association and partner organizations.

The project is implemented together with partner organizations: Zdruzenie na gragjani KREATOR Kumanovo (North Macedonia), Experimentáculo Associação Cultural (Portugal), Stichting yEUth (Netherlands), Asociación Juvenil Inter – AJ INTER (Portugal), Cappadocia Youth Mobility (Turkey), EKO Greece (Greece).
