📆 13 September - 8 November 2023, Online
👉 SALTO Inclusion & Diversity Resources Centre and the Mental Health in Youth Work project jointly announce 2023 as “ID Talks: Year on Mental Health”, with the spring 2023 edition under the motto “Understanding Mental Health” and the autumn 2023 edition under the motto “Discovering Mental Health Practices”.
✔️ “ID Talks” is a series of 5 online workshops on 5 major topics in the promotion of Inclusion & Diversity (ID) and quality youth work. It features youth workers, professionals, and volunteers, from all over the world to share insights, research findings, food for thought, good practices, or inspirational stories. They will guide participants through the pressing matters and challenges affecting Inclusion & Diversity and inspire them to make their programmes and organisations more inclusive, embrace human differences, look ahead and picture how the future of youth work and Inclusion & Diversity might be.
📆 When?
✔️ 13 September (13h CET): ID Talks Participation and Mental Health - How can you address young people’s mental health and well-being through participatory and democratic approaches? Having a role and being part of something bigger is good for your well-being. But how do you increase transparency about mental health and mental illness prevention at the municipal level? Join us to discover a few simple yet effective solutions that have the potential to inspire policy change.
- Guest speaker: Martine Antonsen, Mental Health Youth, Norway
✔️ 27 September (13h CET): ID Talks Movement and Mental Health - Can physical leisure-time activities help young people take care of their body and mind? Movement and dance have clear benefits for your mental health and well-being. So how can youth workers incorporate movement and dance in their daily work or in their international projects? Let’s walk the talk and do something physical that can be easily replicable in your work as well.
- Guest speakers: Jagoda Idzik & Izabela Bejm, Sempre a Frente Foundation, Poland
✔️ 11 October (13h CET): ID Talks Peers and Mental Health - Peer-to-peer work is nothing new: it is successfully used both in formal and non-formal education settings. But how can peer support improve young people's mental health and well-being? How does this peer-to-peer magic work in practice? How can you address bullying and do information and prevention work through this approach? And, last but not least, what is the role of you(th workers) in this process? Learn about the power of peer support and its positive impact on young people’s lives.
- Guest speaker: Inge Esselen, Peer Support Vlaanderen, Belgium - FL
✔️ 25 October (13h CET): ID Talks Art-Story and Mental Health - How can creative processes give young people a way to talk about difficult issues? Visual arts and storytelling help to name, explain, and accept feelings and understand why they surface. Through objects and metaphors it is easier to communicate about mental health concepts. So what potential does storytelling have for your youth groups? If you ever found it challenging to express your thoughts and emotions verbally, join us to discover the alternatives.
- Guest speaker: Laura Mellanen, visual art practitioner, Finland
✔️ 8 November (1 PM CET): ID Talks Solutions and Mental Health - When tackling the topic of mental health and well-being, we mostly focus on the shortcomings and barriers, offering external support. But it is even more important to focus on talents, inner resources, and giving perspectives. So how do you build resilience and support young people’s well-being using a solution-focused approach? To change (y)our perspectives, let’s shift the focus and talk about young people’s strengths.
- Guest speaker: Lize Abrahams, Arktos, Belgium - FL
