"<< Background >>The widening social skills deficit among youth at risk of social non-compliance age 15+ , beneficiaries / recipients of partner institutions involves engaging in risky behaviours such as addictions, vandalism, crime, as a results from engaging in more pathological interpersonal relationships. They contribute to impaired self-assessment and are a pattern of negative social behaviour, and consequently social and professional exclusion. Already 10 years ago the European Commission recognized that exclusion is a multidimensional process which makes young people socially marginalized and prevents them from participating in social, economic, political and cultural life! Therefore, the answer to the abovementioned problems is an intensive promotion of quality, innovation and recognition of work with young people 15+ at risk of social maladjustment and exclusion. The aim of the project is, among other things, to enrich the educational offer with new (innovative at the same time!) methods of work with trainers, which are not yet popular on the European market, as well as topics of personal, social and professional development which are attractive to young people - included in the ""FREE YOUR MIND"" - a comprehensive development programme. Therefore ""equipping"" young people aged 15+ with the necessary knowledge and soft competences to manage their personal potential to move independently and successfully in the labour market, this same overcoming skills inadequacy and exclusion, is considered necessary and desirable by the partnership.<< Objectives >>Thanks to the implementation of the project ""FREE YOUR MIND"" in the trilateral partnership: Poland, Macedonia and Portugal, it is possible to develop and introduce modern, European-applicable tools to stimulate the activity of persons 15 + at risk of social maladjustment and exclusion in social and professional life. Activities will be undertaken in the field of developing soft competences and interpersonal skills of young people. As well as measure to increase their motivation to undertake further professional and educational activity for the benefit of permanent social and professional inclusion. The most important for the partnership is to meet these challenges and create a new comprehensive educational offer (responding to the needs of the 2nd target group, which are the trainers) - THE ""FREE YOUR MIND"" DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME consisting of 4 closely correlating and complementary modules:- A. TOOLBOOK FOR TRAINERS- B. DIGITAL LIBRARY FOR TRAINERS ENTITLED: ""BODY AND MOVEMENT IN WORKING WITH EMOTIONS""- C. BOARD GAME FOR YOUNG PEOPLE -. ""MILE CARD"".- D. TOOLBOOK FOR YOUNG PEOPLE with implemented resources for the mobile application ""Your move"", THE TRAINER/EDUCATOR TAKES ON THE ROLE OF TUTOR based on authenticity, involvement, acceptance and autonomy of each of the young participants in the programme.Work with the programme lasting about 3 months (30 workshop meetings) assumes a change of life attitude of the participating youth, protection against marginalisation and social maladjustment, acquisition of key social competences useful in studies, future work and personal development (i.e.: coping with stress, negative emotions, overcoming stereotypes, empowerment, positive communication, building self-esteem, release of own potential, involvement in social initiatives). The programme in module A will also include practical elements to ensure an adequate participation process for young people at risk of exclusion. And this is undoubtedly an important aspect in the work with this group of beneficiaries. Thanks to the combination and use of the modules of the above mentioned Programme in the workshop work with young people, the youth educator/tutor has rich content-related, methodical and activating resources at his disposal. Each scenario = workshop meeting will be prepared in such a way that the tutor can make own choice, flexibly complement it or change it with the known and available materials. The development of the aforementioned Programme for an active form of work with young people and its dissemination on the European market has, in our opinion, a high chance of success.In the innovation dimension there is the adaptation and multiplication of solutions that are known and proven in the country of each of the three partners. The results of the project focus on supporting youth education and combine the use of best practice workshops with self-development of young people using a mobile application. The 3 general thematic areas of equal access and entry to the labour market, inclusion of marginalised young people and social inclusion, promotion of equality and anti-discrimination are the core of the project ""FREE YOUR MIND"" and respond to the needs of the defined two target groups - young people 15+ at risk of social exclusion and youth trainers/educators and HR professionals undertaking educational and development activities for these young people.<< Implementation >>The key activities in the project will be:1. Setting up a website, FB and their moderation together with access to open the educational platform where all modules of the Development Programme -result of the project- will be implemented.2. Creation an animation to promote the developed programme FREE YOUR MIND"" and 3 professional articles - to be used during the campaign on social media, educational and coaching portals, etc.3. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of individual project activities, including ongoing, mid-term, final, qualitative evaluation - the impact of the project on the participants of the pilot workshops and dissemination .events.4. Evaluation of the external expert and external review of final products.5. Open recruitment of paricipants and the Conduct of a series of workshops with young people 15+ by each partner (after 20 pilot meetings with a group of 15 young people and 3 coaches) to test the method, refine the content and exercises to the intellectual and social abilities of young beneficiaries.6. Creating (in EN, PL, MK, PT languages) in partnership with the practical compendium of trainer's knowledge in the national languages of all members of the partnership - THE ""FREE YOUR MIND"" DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME consisting of components such as:- TOOLBOOK FOR TRAINERS,- DIGITAL LIBRARY FOR TRAINERS ""BODY AND MOVEMENT IN DEALING WITH EMOTIONS"",- A BOARD GAME FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ""MILESTONE CARDS"",- TOOLBOOK FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN PDF VERSION AND MOBILE APPLICATION ""YOUR MOVE"".7. Conducting a total of 9 dissemination meetings of the developed project results: Development programme ""FREE YOUR MIND"" in each of the 3 countries for 225 participants: youth trainers, tutors, coaches and HR specialists.<< Results >>The outcomes developed by the project focus on supporting youth learning and combine the use of best practice workshops with self-development using a mobile app. Through by the developed scenarios (TOOLBOK FOR THE TRAINER), in cooperation with youth trainers, youth will develop social skills in themselves that would allow them to minimise perpetuating anti-social behaviour. The youth development workshops will also be enriched with body work that develops the ability to recognize, express and regulate emotions - a DIGITAL TRAINER'S LIBRARY WITH 15 FILMS. And also a PLAYGAME ""MILE CARD"", essential for working on emotions and improving the ability to name and express emotions. The MOBILE APPLICATION (with the TOOLBOOK FOR YOUNG PEOPLE implemented) will enable them to consolidate the knowledge acquired during the workshops, work on self-development and involvement in their own lives (proactivity). The ""Your move"" mobile application will also make it possible to reach the representatives of the iGEN generation with practical advice and examples presented in a very practical form of ""e-pills of knowledge"". Thanks to the impact of the above-mentioned results an increase of awareness for positive changes, self-confidence, motivation of young people 15+ regarding their future integration into society and the labour market in a united Europe is expected. The results of the activities in the project will provide new methods, tools and materials ideally suited to the new challenges of the EU Growth Strategy 2021-2027, which aims to develop: an economy based on knowledge and innovation and a high-employment economy delivering social and territorial cohesion, including inclusive growth. The partnership also assumes that through the impact of the project and sharing its results there will be an increase in social awareness of the need to increase social professional activity of young people 15+ at risk of social maladjustment by promoting social and professional reintegration of young people at risk of social exclusion, including the promotion of the benefits of employing young people among businesses."

"Scientific evidence shows that physical inactivity is a leading risk factor for poor health, going well beyond issues related to weight control and influencing both physical and mental well-being. Over the past few years, the promotion of physical activity has increasingly been recognized in Europe as a priority for public health, and many countries have responded through the development of policies and interventions.Physical activity can be done in different environments and in different environmental conditions. Outdoor sports and outdoor physical activity solutions have many benefits from the aspect of physical and mental health, environment protection, availability, sustainability etc. The importance of participating in outdoor sports and physical activities as well as being outdoor and active in nature has especially become significant in the last few months when pandemic with COVID – 19 started. The pandemic did not cause just fear, social distancing and isolation. It also affected people’s movement habits, social interaction and communication affecting negatively on physical activity level, physical, mental and emotional health. Therefore, one of the focuses of the project will be to support mental and emotional health and improve social connectedness by promoting outdoor activities and outdoor education. As schools return, outdoor learning needs to be a central part of each school’s efforts to maintain restricted social bubbles and distance between students. As a result, many curricular lessons will have to be taken outdoors in the school grounds, parks or other outdoor spaces. In this regard, the project will aim to support teaching staff in schools, universities and other educational institutions in the transition into new ways of working by promoting outdoor learning and outdoor education.Based on the previously mentioned intentions, we built our project idea on the following three postulates: benefits from outdoor participation and activities for physical and mental health, storytelling as an approach to inner personality and self – discovery and combining them in order to support social connection and cohesion among youngsters. The project aims to transform educational practices, moving from frequent indoor activities to regular use of the outdoor environment and use it as tools for improvement of social connectedness and social cohesion of youth. In this project, we present the main dimensions related to outdoor activities and highlight the role of professionals and educators in creating quality outdoor play opportunities.The new applied methodology will evoke social inclusion, lifelong learning and survival skills among the youngsters. Through the connection to place, students will develop stronger environmental attitudes and civic behaviours. Through this kind of learning experiences, we will create the foundation of raising the next generation of active citizens who take care of their natural and human communities. In the same time, we will increase their motivation and outdoor participation trough creating challenges and games that will give educators new pointers for developing the new educational curricula. In the centre of the new learning, the methodology will be the art of storytelling. To make this happen we will bring researchers and youth workers from North Macedonia, Greece and Germany to develop the new outdoor-based learning methodology and to proposes 30 activities as a part of the Handbook. The youngsters have the central role in the project activities since their participation in the learning mobilities will bring valid pointers for the final version of the handbook. These learning trainings will cover all the important aspects of organizing outdoor activities including outdoor safety and prevention. As a result of these activities, we will have the first outdoor youth mentors who will be constantly engaged in the partner organization by supporting the outdoor events.The project results and will be reflected in the “Youth wellbeing and getting outdoors after Covid-19” Handbook, followed by the “30 Day Outdoor Journey” IT application. The application will be their personal diary with experiences and achievements that will have a motivating character. This application will aim to bring young people closer to the ""30 days challenge"" by having the mobile version and can be used on the spot. The handbook and the App will be available worldwide and can be used by individuals and or any educational institution.We do believe that the project results will contribute to the educational programs worldwide, will make the outdoor experience more playful and enjoyable and in the same time will help youngers to be more inclusive and connected with nature."
