The training for international EuroPeers is aimed at raising awareness about the mental health of participants and oneself. Participants should acquire skills on how to manage their own mental health matters better, promote skills of positive mental health in order to be able to support others when implementing activities in their networks.

Aim of the course:
To acquire new skills and share knowledge and experience around the topic of mental health that help EuroPeers design mindful activities in their networks. This training aims at improving the mindfulness and wellbeing of individuals which ultimately results in more mindful activities in the local EuroPeers communities. Especially when designing and implementing non-formal educational EuroPeers activities to promote European mobility opportunities for young people (e.g. school workshop, EYE session, information session in trainings, public fairs and more) it is essential to be aware of everyone’s needs and to be able to create a safer space.
This is not a course to help you directly address your personal mental health-related issues or serve any therapeutic purpose, instead this course is for active providers of youth work. “Mind Matters” is a skill-based training for EuroPeers to learn skills that they can put into practice when organising peer to peer activities and when they are involved with the target group of the programs.
This is not a newcomer's training but an opportunity for already active EuroPeers to learn new skills related to the organisation and facilitation of EuroPeers actions and consequently to feel more confident in one's commitment as a EuroPeer.
