Starting with a shared direction

The meeting connected Youth Dynamics from Cyprus, EuropeYou from Spain, Minerva APS from Italy and Somenso – Social Health Center from Bulgaria. EuropeYou and Somenso met in Varna, while Minerva and Youth Dynamics joined online.

The partners discussed how to combine their expertise in youth work, stress management, gender inclusion and digital literacy. The goal is to create practical resources that help youth workers support young people with fewer opportunities in a changing digital environment.

The first toolkit draft

A first version of the Digital Well-Being & Stress-Management Toolkit was presented. The next step is structured feedback, bringing together partner review, input from young people and expert perspectives before the materials move towards training and piloting.

Turning plans into cooperation

The consortium reviewed responsibilities and the project work plan, discussed dissemination through the project website and social channels, and prepared the next steps for the co-creation workshop in Spain. The partnership also reviewed the project’s lump-sum funding approach and examples of implementation evidence.
