MOVING FOR MENTAL HEALTH.
Moving for Mental Health (MoMe) responds to the needs and wishes of the participants from the previous youth exchange called “Youth Go Local”. MoMe will bring young people of different nationalities and backgrounds to Croatia to start a conversation about mental health and its connection to dance and sports. The main goal of this project is to bring together 45 young people from 6 different countries to inspire each other with methods to improve their own well-being and share them in their local communities. We want to raise their awareness of the current state of mental health among young people in their communities and improve their emotional and physical well-being by learning how to use their bodies more effectively and creatively. This will encourage social engagement and active participation of young people involved in this project.
GOALS: bring together 45 young people from different backgrounds to promote cultural diversity, giving them the opportunity to learn about other cultures while living and working in mixed nationalities; raise awareness of the current mental health of young people through researching experiences in their local communities, reducing the stigma around taboo topics; - think about the effect that body movement has on physical well-being, overcoming negative attitudes as well as strengthening the self-confidence and self-esteem of the participants; through dance workshops, learn to use the body more efficiently and creatively and improve your emotional and physical state; to provide space for the preparation of the play and its performance in front of the local community in order to show the results of the exchange.
