But what is mental health really about, and what not? How is mental health perceived and interpreted? How are young people today doing regarding mental health and well-being? What should we know, pay attention to, and be prepared for? Put your assumptions to the test and gain a common frame to look at mental health. //Guest speaker: Maria Agorastou, Greece ✔️ 01 March (13h CET): ID Talks Climate-Change Anxiety: If climate change and the environment make young people take to the streets, these global challenges obviously have an influence on their mental health and well-being? What kind of approaches help you to address their climate-change worries? How can you promote climate resilience, both at an individual and at a societal level? Come and discover what role youth work can have in tackling climate-change anxiety. //Guest speaker: Anna Pribil, Austria ✔️ 15 March (13h CET): ID Talks Social-Media Addiction: You probably know (young) people who are constantly glued to their phones. Maybe that’s you? Let’s zoom in on social media addiction. How can you identify it in yourself and in others? Find out what are the main issues, causes, and consequences. And how does it impact the mental health and well-being of young people? Find out what practical tools and support youth work can offer. //Guest speaker: Katja Mankinen, Sosped Foundation, Finland ✔️ 29 March (13h CET): ID Talks Supporting Young People’s Wellbeing: You probably (hopefully) feel that youth work supports young people’s mental health and well-being. But what are young people’s needs, and how can you identify and support those needs better? What kind of (extra) support do young people with fewer opportunities need for their mental health? Get an insight into coping and resilience strategies and learn how to create a sense of belonging and safe spaces (among others) in international projects. //Guest speaker: Ana Perović, Serbia ✔️ 12 April (1 PM CET): ID Talks Youth-Workers Wellbeing: In order to take care of someone else, you need to take care of yourself as well!

Get to know the competences you need to take care of your own mental health and well-being (as a youth worker) so that you can continue to attend to the needs of young people. //Guest speaker: Natalja Gudakovska, Latvia 👉 For whom⁉️ 💁‍♀️🙇‍♂️🙋‍♀️🙆‍♀️💁‍♂️ Youth workers, youth leaders, professionals, and volunteers involved in ID in the EU youth programmes, as well as all those interested in youth work and Inclusion & Diversity topics. 🎯 Main objectives: -To provide food
