    Concluding our Deep Exploration of Mental Health in the Desert

    Sometimes, all you need to create magic is the right ingredients: young hearts filled with motivation, an ambitious project, a dedicated team, and stunning desert dunes. Mindful You(th) gave us the opportunity to share that magic together, stepping away from our everyday lives to explore what lies beyond. By the end of our Youth Exchange, we successfully reached our key objectives: As Loredana, one of our participants, beautifully summed it up:“After being used to office life for so long, this made me appreciate what’s outside. I now realise what the important things really are, and how a small effort of positivity can make my life go well.” The desert left a profound mark on each of us, providing space to reflect, prioritize our well-being, and return home with renewed commitment to these newfound insights. And for that experience, the Coconuts are deeply thankful.

    Pursuing Inner Peace in the Desert – Mindful You(th)

    The time has finally come for one of our most exciting projects ever! We’ve arrived in Merzouga, Morocco, surrounded by the awe-inspiring sand dunes and the profound silence of the Sahara Desert. We couldn’t ask for a more perfect setting to dive deep into the topic of mental health and mindfulness both in theory and practice! In a world buzzing with constant noise and daily pressures, Mindful You(th) youth exchange is a unique opportunity for young people to take a breath, reconnect with themselves, and explore the power of mindfulness and meditation in promoting mental well-being. After a long journey from Marrakech, we’ve settled into our charming Saharan hotel and begun getting to know our participants through fun icebreakers and energizers while slowly starting to tackle the main topic of the programme. During the following days, we’ve shattered mental health stigmas through a dynamic world café activity. Participants also showcased their creativity, revealing the prevalence of mental health issues and existing stigmas in their communities through creative mediums like theatre, poetry, and storytelling. And how can we forget the magical meditation sessions amidst the mystical vastness of the Moroccan Sahara? A truly unique opportunity for all of us to reconnect

    Luxembourg Training on Migration and Asylum Policies

    The past few days have been super interesting for us! We hosted about 12 youth workers from Luxembourg, Spain, Greece, and Italy for a super interactive and impactful training on questioning migrations with the help of pedagogical materials developed by partner organisations. 👉 We had a 3-day training that was run in a train-the-trainer format to prepare the trainees (youth workers and soon-to-be trainers) for using the various kits (pedagogical materials). 👉 The goal was to have them run various workshops in their respective countries, helping more young people adapt to the materials to gain updated knowledge, understanding, and practical steps involved in migration and asylum policies. A big thanks to our facilitators and Cultures of Assembly for the training space. The project doesn’t end here! There is more to come, so make sure you follow along.

    Questioning Migrations Workshop in Luxembourg

    Greetings from Luxembourg! On December 2, we hosted a very diverse group of migrants from Austria, Germany, Ghana, the Czech Republic, Nigeria, Luxembourg, and Romania in Luxembourg for the Questioning Migrations workshop, co-founded by the #Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. We touched on asylum policies, case studies, actors, and how the EU‘s migration policies can better serve migrants. The workshop was facilitated using pedagogical materials developed with project partners, including Union des Associations e-graine, Hellenic Youth Participation, Babele ODV and SOS Racismo. We also thank Cultures of Assembly (Luxembourg) for allowing us to use their space for this insightful workshop.

    Wrapping Up Our Final Project of 2023 in Luxembourg

    Our last project of 2023 & last and days in Luxembourg are done! In the last days of the project we covered so much! They were filled with energizers filled with positive energy, a free day to unwind the from activities in the city of Luxembourg, our participatins explored everything they could find from visiting the European Parliament to the festive vibes of Christmas markets across town, During the last days of the project, and with the expert guidance of our facilitator, all took part in learning how to create online campaigns, using the GAMMMA+ method while focusing on advocacy for the European Youth Goals. All groups learned how to work in new teams, how to create various types of campaigns, how to plan, schedule, delegate and create, dipping their feet in the whole process from brainstorming till presentations in front of potential investors and stakeholders! They did a great job and we hope have learned enough along the way to bring the importance of youth advocacy into their communities, work and future engagements! Our last activity covered information about and around the Youth Pass, all making a list of recommendations for various types of stakeholders to promote youth engagement

    Enhancing Civic Engagement Through Youth Advocacy

    In the misty hills of Weicherdange, Luxembourg, 40 young changemakers from Luxembourg, Poland, Bulgaria, Spain, Slovakia, Hungary, Turkey, and Romania have come together for a week-long deep dive into youth advocacy, participation, and digital engagement. Youth advocacy is a driving force in Europe, amplifying young voices in climate action, social justice, policy-making, and beyond. Through “Time to Advocate,” we aim to equip young people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to influence decision-making at both national and EU levels. Throughout the week, participants are developing their digital skills, engaging with experts, and exploring the link between volunteering, activism, and democratic participation. What have we been working on?

    Design Thinking with MindYourBusiness+

    Throughout the MindYourBusiness+ Youth Exchange, we witnessed the growth and development of our young entrepreneurs and 16 first-time participants in their first ever Erasmus+ project. They embraced the challenges, discovered their potential, and gained invaluable skills and knowledge about entrepreneurship and ‘design thinking’ that will hopefully empower them on their entrepreneurial paths. We are proud of each and every participant that presented and shared their skills and knowledge and produced amazing results within the project! Young participants from 8 countries used the ‘design thinking’ steps and techniques to create creative solutions for the problems they had defined in the first days of the programme. At the end of the project, all groups took part in pitching their entrepreneurial ideas to the rest of the participants, who posed as investors, had a chance to ask questions and figure out witch idea they would invest into. On the last day the participants also created digital campaigns to reflect on what they had learned throughout the project, to inform their audiences on tools from ‘design thinking’, we are so happy to have seen their creative ideas come to life and all of them gain invaluable experiences!
