People of different ages, however, are experiencing its effects in different ways. For young people, and especially for vulnerable youth, the COVID-19 crisis poses considerable risks in the fields of education, employment, mental health and disposable income. ur project aims to equipe youth workers with resilience, to explore and practice new tools in stress management through meditation, connecting with nature, mindfulness, analyzing stress factors and realizing the effects of them in their bodies and minds, enhancing their creativity, empathy and decision making skills; so they better understand and practice this tools for increasing the quality of their youth work after Coronavirus impact.
