RE-YOUTH Wellbeing and nurturing relationships for a generative future

Intro

RE-YOUTH is a KA153 Training Course developed by the partnership composed of Creo Común:Facilitando el Cambio and L’Arte del Processo, two organizations committed to disseminating the Processwork methodology in Europe to facilitate processes of change on individuals, organizations and communities.

Both organizations, through this partnership, intend to respond to the situation that is affecting many young people in Europe, resulting in a mental health crisis.

According to the data handled, due to a multidimensionality of factors (health, economic, environmental) and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents and young people in the European Union states, with emphasis on the Mediterranean countries, are experiencing a dizzying increase in diagnoses of depression, anxiety, eating disorders and, terribly, suicide attempts.

At the same time it is evident the scarcity of instruments that youth workers have at their disposal at school and in non-formal education spaces to fight this new pandemic.

For this reason, from this partnership we want to promote innovative methodologies, already experimented and of proven success, with the aim of promoting health processes that can have an impact on the wellbeing of young people.

Objectives of the project

The goal of the course is to propose practical tools for youth workers to acompany young people in the framework of the severe mental health crisis they find themselves in at the European level.

Through the training process the youth worker will learn how to:

• Identify and Understand Major Mental Health Challenges in Youth
• Develop Active Listening and Empathic Communication Skills
• Apply Early Intervention Strategies
• Establish Support Networks and Connection with other Professionals
• Promote Self-Care Practices among Youth Workers

Methodology

By means of a methodological package based in Processwork and social arts as Social Presencing Theatre, youth workers will learn how to design and facilitate individual and group processes directed at young people and geared toward developing healthy and nurturing relationships with themselves, in pairs and in groups.

The process will be predominantly experiential and based on personal cases. The theoretical framework will be developed in parallel with the lived experience and will be reinforced through insights from the participants.

The trainers are international professionals with extensive experience in the use of Processwork and Social Arts for support and intervention with individuals and organizations.
