๐ง ๐ Healthy minds, happy lives!
Tuesday, 25th August brought Day 2 of our Erasmus+ Youth Exchange with DLRG-Jugend Bayern, and this time we swapped cybercrime for conversations about mental health, wellbeing and what keeps us feeling good.
The morning kicked off with Julian and Joanne from Happy Life, helping participants explore emotional wellbeing and the life skills that can help us build healthier relationships with ourselves and with those around us. The session also looked at how looking after our own wellbeing can help us connect with others, give back through volunteering and, ultimately, live a happier life.
The afternoon brought the digital world back into the conversation, but with a different question: when you need a mental boost, where do you turn?
The answers? Sport, music, family and friends came out on top. ๐ต๐โโ๏ธ๐ฌ
While social media certainly has its place, when spirits need lifting, sometimes the best connection is an offline one.
There was plenty of sharing, moving around, comparing perspectives and discovering that despite coming from two different countries, we might have more in common than we think. ๐ฒ๐น๐ค๐ฉ๐ช
And because a day about balance deserves a little balance of its own, we finished with an underground tour of the historic fort and dinner!
Not a bad way to end Day 2!
