Bricks

Bricks: solid, square building blocks. Nothing more. Or are they?

If we stack bricks on top of each other, we can build, for example, a wall. What does the word ’wall’ represent to you? What do you associate it with?

In this training course we will explore and activate our resources, with the help of which we can develop healthier habits both in our work and in our private lives. We will work with perseverance, self-control, and healthy optimism in order to develop resilience.

During the program, the participants will acquire techniques, attitudes, and good practices that they can use in their work in supporting youth mental health.

All of this will be done by building ourselves brick by brick, supported by creative tools, and using the wall as a symbol throughout the entire training program.
