<< Background >>According to research 'Youth work and the corona pandemic in Europe' mental health has been mentioned many times by respondents as a key issue, both professionally and personally. About 90% young respondents of the research felt downhearted, stressed and depressed at least some of the time during the Pandemic, which still lasts and has influences. The same research shows that youth work helps young people to navigate the crises. Within the project we want to connect those two aspects. We want to increase the capacity of the youth workers in Europe (especially in participating countries ) towards using mindfulness practices to support young people in their personal situation. The research made by Youth Partnership (EU & Council of Europe) 'The effects of COVID-19 on young people’s mental health and psychological well-being' shows that the pandemic arisen from COVID-19 and the resulting governmental restrictive measures have had a toll on youth’s mental health and psychological well-being. Youth appear to experience high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety, and lower levels of life satisfaction, whereas some evidence also suggests that young people’s relationships with parents might also be affected. In the same research we see assumption that the situation arising from the pandemic is complex, worldwide, and has multisystemic implications that affect individuals directly and indirectly, it might be reasonable to expect that a potentially severe mental health “pandemic” will ensue (Gruber et al., 2020). A multi study report concludes that “Mindfulness is especially effective for reducing anxiety, depression, and stress”. Mindfulness-based programs are scientifically proven and can enhance youth development and contribute to resilience (Mindfulness-based therapy: A comprehensive meta-analysis. Clinical Psychology Review.). We see the benefits of incorporating mindfulness practices and methods into youth work not only as reduction of the pandemic negative effects but also as a support model for young people who are struggling in life (going through teen age, facing different obstacles and challenges, etc.).<< Objectives >>The main aim of the project is to enrich youth work activities with mindfulness approach, methods and techniques in order to support youth and youth workers wellbeing and mental health, efficiency and active participation. Raise awareness about mindfulness and mental health among youth and youth workers.For to reach the aim we set following objectives:- increase capacity of youth workers toward using mindfulness practices; - develop Mindfulness curriculum and e-course ​for youth workers and youth;- measure impact of the mindfulness practices on the youth workers and youth participated in the programmes;- create a pool of mindfulness instructors in the youth work field;- raise awareness about mindfulness and its benefits.<< Implementation >>For to reach planned aim and objectives we are planning following kinds of activities: Overall project activities- project management and coordination - project monitoring, evaluation and analysis - external and internal communication activities - raising awareness and mental health and mindfulness and dissemination of the project resultsDecember 2021 - TPM 1 - Kick-off meeting;December 2021 - March 2022 - Developing O1 - Mindfulness curriculum for youth workers;April 2022 - Short-term joint staff event - testing and piloting O1 on the organisational staff, sharing mindfulness practices;April 2022 - August 2022 - Developing O2 - E-course for youth workers based on OApril 2022 - August 2022 - Development O3 - Mindfulness curriculum for youth;August 2022 - TPM 2 - midterm project meeting;September 2022 - Virtual multiplier event - with the aim to share O1 and invite youth workers to participate in O2 ; October 2022 - March 2023 - Piloting and delivering O2 - Mindfulness e-course program for youth workers;October 2022 - March 2023 - Local activities for youth workers;October 2022 - As the first online course started we are also starting with Research on impact with online course participants;October 2022 - March 2023 - Developing O4 - Mindfulness e-course for youth with;March 2023 - August 2023 - Piloting, Applying O3 and O4 online and locally.
