ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Don’t Worry, Be You is a project that was developed as a response to the adverse effects that global Covid-19 pandemic and other events of global magnitude have had on young people, such as increased sense of isolation, a lack of purpose, anxiety and loneliness. Thus, with this project our main aim is to empower young people to reconnect with themselves, their communities and the outer world and to foster their resilience and well being both on the individual and collective level for a happier and more fulfilled life

As a part of this project, we offer various tools that can support young people with and without fewer opportunities and their mentors and educators to take care of their mental health and wellbeing as well as design mindful educational programmes that raise awareness about the importance of mental health and foster resilience and wellbeing.

  • An interactive WELLBEING GUIDEBOOK full of exercises, examples and theoretical pieces!
  • EMBODIMENT VIDEO TUTORIALS that invite you to bring more movement and flow in your life or educational programme.
  • A set of 21 MINDFULNESS CHALLENGES each being accompanied with a PODCAST episode. They are fun and will invite you to come out of your comfort zone.
  • GOOD DEEDS GAME that will bring fun into your community and strengthen bonds in your classroom, among friends, neighbours…
