2) the creation of peer-to-peer learning activities to promote youth mental well-being
3) the development of virtual exchange methods for schools
4) the practical application of the knowledge gained from the project
The project is going to provide perspectives on multicultural methods and mental health literacy needs through the following activities and outcomes:
Methods of peer-to-peer mental health education
* An informative summary of the evidence on promoting young people’s mental wellbeing through peer/peer peer education and support.
* A research-based summary of youth mental health literacy skills to inform the development of the entire project.
Development of peer-to-peer activities
* An educational package of peer-to-peer peer education methods that can be used in schools to support young people’s mental literacy. These methods are developed together with the students online in the context of international cooperation.
* An evaluation report of piloting the methods for students.
* A digital guide to using virtual exchange methods for teachers. This guide will be translated into 5 different languages (English, Finnish, Portuguese, Greek and Slovenian).
