Article Free Your Mind - Start New Life” - KA220-YOU - Cooperation partnerships in Youth
As part of the project department team at Mobility Friends, I am currently working on the FREE YOUR MIND – START NEW LIFE project.
📌 The major aim of this project is to protect young people at risk of social exclusion from marginalization. For this project the main materials will focus on the following areas: learning how to deal with stress and strong emotions, overcoming stereotypes, becoming independent, choosing positive communication, working on self-esteem, developing one´s own potential, and engaging in social initiatives.
📌 So far, me and my colleagues, whom are participating in this project, we have worked on a Toolbook for trainers, which we have also made a Portuguese version of. Besides that, we also translated a board game “Milestone Cards”, for young people (it is composed of several cards) in order to encourage, facilitate and improve the involvement of young people when it comes to thinking, talking and sharing their feelings, needs and emotions.
📌 Soon we will be organizing several workshops with some of our students and we will have a chance to include young people with special needs in these events in our campus. We are anxious to see the upcoming results of this project.
