The ME-App is a mobile application, which is currently being developed as part of a project funded by the EU’s Erasmus+ programme. It is designed to help unemployed adults and other users track and manage various psycho-social challenges they might face, such as challenges related to mood, stress or sleep. Available in English, German, Slovenian and Polish, the ME-App will offer motivational messages and interactive tools to support users in their personal growth. By consolidating multiple features into one easy-to-use platform, the app simplifies the process of monitoring interconnected psycho-social challenges, empowering users to take control of their journey. Available in German, Polish, Slovenian and English, it is being designed to fit individual preferences and learning styles, offering practical, ongoing support.

Why are we developing the ME-App?

Empowerment and Motivation are key drivers behind the ME-App. Many unemployed adults face psycho-social challenges like low self-esteem and health-related problems, but there is often insufficient in-person support to help them overcome these obstacles. While external support like therapy or doctor appointments exists, it is not always consistent or comprehensive enough. The ME-App aims to bridge this gap by offering a complementary tool that can be used both during and after participation in Active Labour Market Participation Programmes (ALMP-Ps). Though many unemployed adults are familiar with using apps, there is currently no centralised tool that helps them track multiple challenges over the long term. Existing apps may address specific issues, but they often require users to juggle different tools, which can lead to disengagement. The ME-App is being developed to meet this specific need—allowing users to self-monitor their progress in a single platform, empowering them to stay motivated and on track toward overcoming barriers to employment.

Mapping Reports Completed 

To provide input to the development of the beta-version of the ME-App, we conducted research and surveys between March and August this year. The aim was to better understand the specific obstacles unemployed adults face so that we could identify the most relevant features the ME App should have to address these obstacles. We surveyed unemployed adults and educators in Austria, Poland, Slovakia and Germany and wrote up our finding into 2 Mapping Reports, which are crucial for tailoring the ME-App to better serve both users and educators. https://meapp-platform.eu/resources/
