The project aims to examine the growing challenges young workers face in relation to their mental health. It seeks to identify common problems and the impact of working conditions on mental well-being. An important objective is to inform young leaders of trade unions and other workers' organisations about current EU initiatives.
Participants will share experiences and present best practices from their organisations, with a focus on prevention, mutual support and combating stigma. By confronting their own realities and projects with the political framework and institutional efforts at European level, the group will critically evaluate what works – and what is still missing. The project will conclude with the formulation of concrete demands to decision-makers to ensure that the mental health of young workers is recognised, supported and protected.
Expected outcomes are:
- Common challenges will be identified;
- The realities and projects of others in relation to mental health will be learned about;
- EU initiatives on mental health will be learned about and suggestions for their improvement will be made;
- Concrete demands will be formulated for decision-makers at European and national level.
