Erasmus+ Youth Exchange | Mollina, Spain | 6–14 May 2025

“Healthy Mind, Efficient Work” was a powerful Erasmus+ Youth Exchange that brought together 25 young people from Spain, Italy, Türkiye, and Ukraine in the CEULAJ (Mollina, Málaga) to explore the essential link between mental well-being and employability.

Project Aim

The initiative was designed to support youth facing professional uncertainty, unemployment, and emotional stress. Our goal was to help participants gain practical career tools, while also prioritizing mental health, self-awareness, and resilience.

What We Did

Over 8 dynamic days, participants engaged in:

  • Workshops on stress management, emotional intelligence, leadership & self-care

  • Practical sessions on CV writing, job interviews, networking & entrepreneurship

  • Group discussions exploring soft skills like communication & teamwork

  • A final challenge: designing their own Erasmus+ projects based on common interests

The program was enriched with intercultural evenings, team-building games, and peer-led sharing spaces that nurtured trust, inclusion, and deep reflection.

Local Impact & Inspiration

Participants also visited:

  • Arrabal – Centro Innosocial Málaga ODS, learning about local social innovation and job training.

  • CEULAJ’s director, Sebastián, who welcomed the group and spoke about the power of international youth mobility.

What Participants Took Home

Each young person left empowered with:

  • Enhanced employability skills

  • Better stress and time management tools

  • Stronger intercultural communication skills

  • A renewed motivation to shape their future with confidence and purpose

They are now ready to share their learning within their local communities, acting as ambassadors for mental health awareness and youth empowerment.

“Healthy Mind, Efficient Work” is a shining example of how non-formal education can make a real difference—combining learning, well-being, and active participation for a more resilient generation of young Europeans.
