INTERNATIONAL TRAINING UNDER THE CHEER PROJECT WAS HELD IN POLAND
17.05.2023
In the period 12-17.05.2023, in Milowka, Poland, a training for youth workers working with young people with limited opportunities in their countries was held. Within the training program the metaphorical cards CHEER, the training videos CHEER and the CHEER podcasts, which aim to improve and optimize the mental health of young people, were presented and analyzed. Diana Hadjiangelova, Velina Toneva, Nadezhda Panayotova, Elena Dimitrova, Vladimir Spasov, Suleyman Suleyman and Petar Shopov took part in the international mobility, representing Bulgarian sports development association (the Bulgarian project partner).
The CHEER project focuses on the following topics:
• Equal educational opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities;
• Integration of young people from partner countries;
• Raising health awareness (especially mental health);
• Introducing and implementing wellbeing methods;
• Increased creativity and teamwork;
• CHEER card testing and evaluation.
The CHEER initiative aims to improve the mental health of young people by stimulating their creativity and using their youthful enthusiasm. The crisis related to the coronavirus epidemic is having a negative impact on young people in Europe. The fight against the epidemic and the restrictions introduced weakened the mental condition of youth. Many of them feel that it intends to take from them their most precious time in their life – youth. As a result, young people experience many mental problems without institutional and social support. These problems have direct impact on their education and professional development. Moreover, at present we are unable to predict all the effects of the current state in the future. It is certain, however, that it will be a negative experience for an entire generation that needs support and renewed energy to overcome difficulties. The group that also experiences many problems in the above context are youth workers, who face problems with their mental state, but also with the lack of appropriate educational tools and skills.
CHEER project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
