The project analyzed and mapped existing competencies and challenges of young people regarding personal empowerment (well-being in post-Covid times, self-confidence, stress reduction, social inclusiveness, etc.), identified gaps and common features with the help of national focus groups, and presented them in a thorough report. Additionally, we mapped existing expertise on self-growth methods, validated digitalization support, and conducted a gap analysis on these topics. By highlighting the common elements of competencies and using them as a framework for dialogue between partners and innovation, this report also serves as a tool for informing and educating about existing competencies and challenges.

The project developed a web app with micro-trainings, which represented a central project result. The app includes learning materials and lesson categorization, enabling users to approach the learning process systematically as the content is divided into several logical blocks, facilitating the assimilation of the material. Statistics on learning progress provides the opportunity to observe the learning process and motivate users.

We developed an e-course that enables youth to create a more positive mindset, which has been integrated into the web application. The e-course is a key result for acquiring competencies and realizing project goals, consisting of 10 hours of lessons divided into several topics, distributed across 30 micro-training sessions. Each hour of training comprises micro-trainings (3 x 15 min), enabling training during working hours, breaks, free time, etc. The development of an e-textbook, including exercises, complements the online micro-trainings, offering offline access to a selection of useful advice on short, simple everyday positive routines, leading to effective changes, self-improvement, enhanced general mental health, and training the mind to work for you instead of against you.
