WHAT IS IT?
Healthy Inclusion through Art is a 24-months Cooperation Partnership in the field of Youth that involves seven organisations from six countries (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain). The main aim of this project is to improve the social inclusion of young people suffering from disorders and/or emerging mental health symptoms through a youth work methodology based on the development of talents and artistic interests of young people.
The main objectives of the project are:
‑To develop the key competences of youth workers and other professionals in the field of youth in conceptualising, recognising and addressing emerging mental health disorders and symptoms that hinder the social inclusion of young people;
‑To offer young people at risk of social exclusion due to emerging mental health disorders and/or symptoms, opportunities for personal and professional development through artistic disciplines;
‑To exchange experiences, good practices, tools and methodologies based on artistic disciplines between organisations and professionals from six European countries, which favour the recovery of young people with emerging mental health disorders and/or symptoms and their social inclusion;
‑To design new educational tools to enable professionals in the field of youth to offer young people with emerging mental health disorders and/or symptoms an effective pathway to early recovery and social inclusion;
‑To create an international network of organisations, active in the youth field, that use art as a tool for the social inclusion of young people suffering from emerging mental health disorders and/or symptoms.
