Wellbeing nurturer

I have participated in the Virtual Exchange “Tackling mental health (Youth Goal #5)” organised and implemented by the Cities and Regions of Learning Network in the framework of a series of activities carried out for promoting engagement of young people throughout the cities, regions and islands of learning across Europe.
To earn this badge, I have completed at least 2 out of the 3 badge tasks, the evidence of which has been verified by the facilitators of the Virtual Exchange.
﻿
In this meeting, co-facilitated by young expert Blaž Kavčič from Slovenia and aimed at delving deeper into the topic of mental health and wellbeing, participants have:
developed their digital competences
learned about the 11 European Youth Goals and especially #5: Mental Health & Wellbeing
discovered some mental health practices that can be beneficial in their daily lives
learned about and practiced mindfulness
shared experiences and insights on the topic
learned about the Cities and Regions of Learning Network
learned about digital Open Badges for learning recognition
﻿
The Virtual Exchange took place online on March 21st 2024, from 17:00 to 18:30 CET.
﻿
This activity is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

Go for a walk and do the 5-4-3-2-1 mindfulness exercise (5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste).
Now write down what you saw, touched, heard, smelled and tasted.
﻿
This task is for reflection and is self-approved.

Task no.3

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Practice your Mental Health ABC, and especially the A: Ask.
﻿
Write at least 3 OE (Open Ended) questions and 3 I-statements for the following scenario:
It’s the middle of the summer and you notice your friend suddenly wearing a hoodie.
You’ve noticed a Gillette a week earlier, while visiting him.
﻿
Open Ended questions are questions that don't have a yes/no answer: "How are you feeling?", instead of: "Are you ok?"
I-statements focus on your personal feelings and experiences: "I've noticed that...", rather than: "You look sad."
