Aim
“Forest Jump” is an Erasmus+ funded youth exchange that is focused on giving
participants key knowledge about the opportunity to use various sustainable
practices that can improve their mental, physical health and also the environment
around them. The project is using good practices and methods to share practical
knowledge and activities that help them to be healthy, happy and balanced citizens.
Ultimately, the project contributes to the capacity building and learning of youth
within formal and non-formal education, aligning with the objectives of the Erasmus+
program.
Description
Our project aims to empower participants with a comprehensive understanding of
mental health and its significance in daily life. Participants will be provided with an
opportunity to learn and to share various green activities that can help them to be
more concentrated, focused, and have a more positive attitude towards people
around. Moreover, during the mobility we will provide essential knowledge to help
individuals foster better concentration skills for increased productivity. Furthermore,
we encourage knowledge exchange among participants, giving them space not only
to share their opinion and experience, but also develop their listening skills,
communication skills, and practice acceptance of various opinions. The project
explores the integration of effective breath techniques and highlights the connection
between mental and physical health through sports and yoga activities. Additionally,
we present innovative ways of using green practices and nature to enhance mental
well-being.
