Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange called “Stress Less – Live Best” which will take place from the 12th until the 21st of January 2025 in Olsztyn, Poland.
About the Project: The goal of the “Stress Less, Live Best” project is to promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle among young people by:
1. Raising awareness about mental health: Educating young individuals on the importance of mental health and its impact on their daily lives, relationships, and achievements.
2. Building stress management skills: Equipping participants with practical tools and techniques (such as mindfulness, time management, and breathing exercises) to help them cope with pressure and tension effectively.
3. Encouraging physical activity: Promoting regular movement and exercise as a natural way to reduce stress, improve mood, and boost energy.
4. Fostering healthy habits: Educating youth about the benefits of proper nutrition, sleep, rest, and maintaining a balance between responsibilities and relaxation.
5. Incorporating art therapy: Using creative expression as a means of emotional release and self-discovery, helping participants explore their thoughts and feelings in a non-verbal and therapeutic way.
Through workshops, physical activities, educational sessions, practical exercises, and handcraft, the project aims to inspire young people to take conscious actions toward better health, less stress, and a more balanced life.
