ABOUT THE PROJECT
Mindfulness can be described as “the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment”. Nowadays, it is widely used all over the world as a form of relaxation techniques, as well as to reduce stress, or even depression or anxiety.
We deeply believe that Mindfulness can be a useful and innovative tool to be used with young people.
Therefore, we believe that being aware of our own ‘mental scripts’ and being mindful of them (&realizing them and the process around it), can greatly contribute for being more tolerant and mindful for other people, and fight stereotypes and prejudice, thus also contribute towards inclusion of excluded and marginalized groups. Furthermore, since 2020, we have also experienced the importance of competencies regarding online work and online tools since the start of the global pandemic. Therefore, this project will also focus on developing these skills. While exploring Mindfulness, we will explore how to use online tools and methods to reach young people with the created tools dedicated to this topic. Thus, also develops the competencies of youth workers when it comes to digital youth work.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
- Equipping youth workers with knowledge and practical skills of the Mindfulness technique.
- Discussing and exploring how Mindfulness can be used to stop ‘working on mental pilot’ thus combating stereotypes and prejudice, and also contributing towards the inclusion of excluded and marginalized groups.
- Creating innovative methods and approaches by involving Mindfulness in their work with youth.
- Developing tools (lesson scenarios) for using Mindfulness for the promotion of tolerance and prevention of racism, and discrimination.
- Equipping youth workers with practical skills and knowledge regarding digital youth work.
