CONTEXTWork-related stress is often cited as a major concern for managers in health and social welfare. The legislation of the EU [Framework Directive, on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers] expresses the need of the systematic training and support for the new and young employees so they can perform their duties. According to European surveys on working conditions and scientific literature, particularly young professionals and workers are at risk from various forms physical and psychological hazards due to stress. As reported by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, stress due to work, are among the most commonly reported causes of illness workers, affecting more than 40 million people across the EU, with a great portion of it being young workers. OBJECTIVESIn this context, BooStress developed a vocational training package to equip current and prospect young workers with stress management skills, in the context of health and safety framework, and build their capacity to address relevant challenges in their work environment. The project overall aim was to upgrade and multiply the opportunities for up-skilling and re-skilling young workers in managing work related stress, via innovative VET tools and pedagogies, accompanied by skills acquisition assessment, recognition and validation methods. More specifically, the project objectives were to: combat low levels of stress management skills among young workers through open and inclusive digital tools, resources and practices; empower young workers to become creators of their own career via soft skills acquisition and maximize their employability opportunities; enhance the development of critical media literacy skills and competences in VET; provide innovative youth and VET pedagogical methods, best practice guidelines, and strategies towards the use of digital tools and innovative learning environments; empower all stakeholders to use innovative ICT-based VET practices and resources in enhancing new skills for youth; provide contemporary methods and tools for assessment of skills acquisition, recognition and validationPARTICIPANTSThe consortium consisted of 3 partners from 3 EU countries:1.
