Welcome to the Cities of Learning Network’s Virtual Exchanges, an opportunity for young people from all Cities, Regions and Islands of Learning to connect, exchange, have fun and learn together!
﻿
﻿
﻿
This exchange, called Tackling mental health (Youth Goal #5), has the goal to connect young people coming from several cities, regions and islands of learning, in order to learn about the 11 European Youth Goals and specifically about goal #5: Mental Health & Wellbeing, and then to share experiences and insights on the topic, and to discover how to better nurture one’s own mental health and wellbeing on a daily basis.
﻿
To help us delve into this topic, we’ll be joined by Blaž Kavčič, a young entrepreneur, volunteer and mindfulness coach from Ljubljana City of Learning (Slovenia), who will be co-facilitating the exchange and guide us through this journey of discovery.
﻿
If you’re curious to get to know Blaž a bit better, we interviewed him last year on episode 2 of our Future Learning Podcast: check it out here!
﻿
Together, we will:
learn about the 11 European Youth Goals and especially #5: Mental Health & Wellbeing
discover some mental health practices that can be beneficial in our daily lives
learn about and practice mindfulness
share experiences and insights on the topic
explore digital Open Badges for learning recognition
have fun and meet people coming from different European countries
﻿
The Virtual Exchange will start at 17:00 CET on Zoom and it will last approximately 1h30.
This activity is aimed at young people aged 16-30 coming from any of the Cities, Regions and Islands of Learning.
