"Spending a week in Cyprus (21/06 - 27/06) as part of the Erasmus+ seminar “Healthy Lifestyle vs Youth’s Challenges Nowadays” was an incredibly enriching experience. Throughout the week, I had the chance to engage in deep discussions with youth workers from different countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, North Macedonia, Greece, Italy, Cyprus) learning about the diverse challenges young people face in terms of mental and physical health.
We explored how social pressure, lack of access to resources, and digital overload affect youth well-being, and shared practical tools to promote healthier lifestyles. I also gained new knowledge about non-formal education methods and how to implement them in my local community in Poland.
One of the most valuable aspects of this seminar was the cultural exchange and teamwork. By participating in workshops, outdoor activities, and group reflections, I developed both my communication and leadership skills. I also became more aware of the importance of self-care and balance in my personal and professional life. This experience inspired me to take better care of my own health and motivated me to help others do the same through youth work. I’m truly grateful for the connections I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned during this unforgettable week."
