The last couple of years were hard on everybody’s mental health. We didn’t get to do much circus but we managed to attend the training course called “Keep calm: tools for youth mental well-being.
We learned about many ways to maintain our mental wellbeing and manage our negative emotions.
The training course took place in Urdos, France, and included 26 participants and 4 team members from 13 countries (France, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Croatia, Spain, Lithuania, Greece).
The 8-days training course was created to to promote mental hygiene and mental wellbeing in everyday life and to secure smooth inclusion of young people with emotional distress/mental issue/ mental disorders into society.
