This youth exchange project took place from 9 to 17 November 2024 in Poronin with the participation of groups from Cyprus, Italy, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. We implemented it for several key reasons, focusing on the needs of young people and our goals. We see that young people often struggle with challenges in maintaining a work-life balance. In our work with young people, we see that this can lead to stress, burnout and health problems. Our goal was to provide them with tools and strategies that will help them achieve a healthier work-life balance. We want young people to have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and practical skills in an engaging and inspiring way. Through experiences, workshops, discussions and intercultural interactions, young people had the opportunity to develop not only theoretically but also practically. Our project promoted healthy habits and approach to life. We want young people to be aware of the need to take care of their mental and physical health and to be aware that there are different strategies to deal with stress and overload. As a result, the project has contributed to increasing the competences of participants, strengthening partner organizations and promoting healthy lifestyles and work-life balance in local communities. The project has a long-lasting impact on all involved and will contribute to improving the quality of life of young people.
