Mental Health and Physical Activity of Youth through Human Rights: well-being challenges

The participants of the study session “Highway to Wellbeing: Improving Mental Health and Physical Activity of Youth through Human Rights” developed well-being challenges that call on young people to #BeActive and use physical activity as a tool to improve their well-being and mental health.

As part of the Council of Europe Youth for Democracy programme, ENGSO Youth and International Youth Health organisation developed a four-day study session in cooperation with the Council of Europe, which took place from 9-12 September 2024 in Budapest, Hungary, in the European Youth Centre Budapest, and counted 20 young participants from all over Europe.

The programme of the event included a series of sessions based on non-formal education and training methodologies destined to discuss the topics of health, mental health and wellbeing, sport and physical activity, and help the participants to develop a better understanding of the intersections between these areas whilst thinking of physical and mental health and wellbeing holistically and from a Human Rights perspective.

During the last sessions, the participants created a series of inclusive wellbeing challenges destined to promote mental health and wellbeing ahead of the European Week of Sport.
