Mindful Scouts - Foster mental health of young people by using the scout method
An Erasmus+ youth project supporting young people’s mental health and well-being through the Scout Method and nature-based learning.
Mindful Scouts is an Erasmus+ project titled “Foster mental health of young people by using the scout method.” The project brings together partners from Slovakia, Spain, and Greece to explore how reflection, teamwork, scouting values, and connection with nature can support young people’s resilience, personal development, and emotional well-being.
The project was created in response to the growing mental health challenges faced by young people across Europe and aims to explore how the Scout Method, nature-based learning, and non-formal education can support well-being, resilience, reflection, and personal development. Through this cooperation, the partners will develop practical resources for youth workers, educators, trainers, scout leaders, and young people.
For InnoSpark, participation in Mindful Scouts is an important opportunity to contribute to a meaningful European initiative that connects youth well-being with innovation and accessible learning tools. Within the project, InnoSpark is responsible in particular for the development of the OER platform, as well as dissemination and sustainability actions, helping ensure that the project results will remain visible and useful beyond the project duration.
The project will develop a Toolkit/Ebook, My Diary as a reflection companion, and an open educational resources platform, all designed to support practical youth work in different contexts. We are excited to begin this journey together with our partners and to contribute to creating more supportive, reflective, and inclusive learning spaces for young people across Europe.
Stay tuned as we share more updates from the Mindful Scouts journey.
