As a follow up activity of the Training Course “ Body Narratives” that happened in Czechia in February ,2026, our participants prepared in interactive workshop where interested people experienced one of the tools learnt during the training course. “Photo voice” a participatory methods, a space where you can express yourself via photos and reflect from the individual and group perspectives.
The workshop took place in Yerevan, in May 9, 2026 during the Colibri Youth Development NGO birthday event.
We want to mention that “Body Narratives” was a training course that included key highlights:

* Embodied Storytelling: Discovering how our bodies hold
memories and narratives, and translating those into creative youth work tools.

* ✨Creative
Co-Creation: Working in international teams to design "PhotoVoice"
projects addressing social themes like identity, inclusion, and equality.

* ✨Public Impact: The training culminated in a public exhibition
where the group shared their visual stories with the local community,
demonstrating the power of art to spark dialogue.

Thanks to all parties involved, all participants and Erasmus plus
programme for making it happen.

🍀Environmental Sustainability – Mental Landscape
Does your phone serve you, or do you serve your phone?

Our environment includes our digital space. 📲
Environmental sustainability also means protecting your mental landscape from digital pollution. Intentional focus is the ultimate discipline in the 21st century. By removing constant digital noise, you create space for deeper thoughts and real connection.

Turn off all non-human notifications for 2 minutes. Notice the immediate drop in background anxiety.

🧘‍♀️Healthy Lifestyle – Balance

In nature, nothing blooms all year round. Why do you expect yourself to?💡

🌿Balance is a dynamic process, not a static state. To prevent burnout, we must balance High-Output days with Low-Output days. Discipline also means having the wisdom to rest when the body signals a need for it. Respecting your internal pace is a form of self-sustainability.

📒Take 2 minutes to audit your energy. Write down one thing currently draining your energy and one thing that gives you life. Adjust your flight path accordingly.
