🌍 Different cultures. Shared values. One common goal: mental well-being for all.

The final day of the MIND Twinning Exchange celebrated the connection between culture, community and mental health through the “Unity in Diversity: Cultural Festival & Mental Health Exhibition.”

Participants shared stories, traditions, creative expression and perspectives on well-being, discovering both the diversity of European cultures and the common need for understanding, care and belonging.

The MIND project showed that cross-border cooperation can help communities learn from one another, overcome cultural barriers and develop more inclusive approaches to mental-health support.

By listening, sharing and connecting, we create a healthier and more united Europe. 🤝

💬 Talking about mental health helps build stronger communities.

During the MIND Twinning Exchange, participants reflected on some of the most pressing challenges affecting mental well-being today:

• Anxiety, loneliness and social exclusion

• The impact of digital culture and information overload

• Media’s role in raising awareness and challenging stereotypes

• Youth participation, volunteering and equal access to support

• Mental health as a social and democratic priority

The exchange created a safe and participatory space to share experiences, discuss culturally sensitive approaches and identify practical ways to make our communities more inclusive, compassionate and resilient.

Together, we can replace stigma with understanding and isolation with connection.

🧠 MIND Twinning: Cross-Cultural Mental Health Exchange

From 17 to 19 May 2026, Imathia and Naousa became a meeting point for dialogue, inclusion and European cooperation through the MIND Twinning: Cross-Cultural Mental Health Exchange.

Coordinated by EQUALINE, the event brought together local authorities, civil-society organisations, mental-health professionals, educators, young people and citizens from Greece, Serbia, Italy, Bulgaria and Romania.

Through meaningful discussions, interactive activities and cross-cultural exchange, participants explored how communities can promote mental well-being, reduce stigma and strengthen social inclusion.

Because mental health is not only a personal matter, it is a shared social responsibility.

Bringing the experience back home 🇬🇷🌍

As the Erasmus+ project “The NFE Lab: Designing the Future of Youth Participation” came to an end, our Greek team had the opportunity to reflect on the experience and think about how the learning gained in Latvia could continue beyond the mobility. ✨

Through Open Space sessions, participants exchanged knowledge on topics such as facilitation, innovative teaching methods, social media and starting an NGO. 🗣️

Our Greek participants also worked on personal action plans, exploring how the methods, ideas and inspiration gained during the project could be transferred to future activities, organisations and local communities. 📝

The final reflection activities offered a moment to recognise personal progress, share thoughts with the group and look back on everything achieved throughout the mobility.

The experience concluded with the presentation of Youthpass certificates 🎓, marking the end of one journey and, hopefully, the beginning of many new ideas and initiatives.

Our Greek team returns home with new skills, perspectives, connections and inspiration — ready to turn this experience into action.

From participants to facilitators! 💡

During the Erasmus+ project “The NFE Lab: Designing the Future of Youth Participation”, our Greek participants had the chance to experience Non-Formal Education from a completely different perspective: not only as learners, but also as facilitators. 🙌

Working together with participants from other countries, they developed activity plans focused on youth participation and then put their ideas into practice with the rest of the group.

Designing and facilitating an activity meant thinking about objectives, methods, timing, group dynamics and how to keep everyone actively involved. 📝⏱️

For our Greek team, this was a valuable opportunity to practise communication, teamwork, creativity, leadership and adaptability in an international environment.

They also brought a little taste of home to the group, sharing some Greek snacks alongside the contributions of the other national teams — a small but meaningful way to connect cultures during the activities.

Constructive feedback and reflection after each session also helped participants understand what worked well and what could be improved. 🔄

This is what Non-Formal Education is all about: learning through experience, reflection and practice.

🇬🇷🇱🇻 A new Erasmus+ experience in Latvia! ✈️✨

Our Greek participants joined the Erasmus+ project “The NFE Lab: Designing the Future of Youth Participation” in Balvi, Latvia, together with young people from Latvia, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Türkiye, Spain and the Republic of North Macedonia. 🌍🤝

The first part of the mobility focused on getting to know each other, building trust and creating a positive learning environment.

Through icebreakers, team-building activities and intercultural moments, participants started connecting with people from different backgrounds while also discovering more about Erasmus+ opportunities and the role of Non-Formal Education in youth work. 🎯

Learning new things, exchanging experiences and discovering different cultures were all part of the beginning of this international journey.

A great start to a week of participation, collaboration and new experiences! 🙌
