The "Healthy Mind in A Healthy Body" project took place from 1 to 8 May, during which 5 young people from 5 countries (Italy, Greece, Germany, Lithuania and Slovenia) participated in an intercultural exchange in Chania, Crete.
The theme of the project was mental and physical health, focusing on how these two aspects are closely linked and influence the general well-being of young people.
The aim of the project was to discuss the difference between mental and physical health and explore their connection by developing awareness on how to achieve psycho-physical well-being for a healthy lifestyle.
We asked the guys to share their feedback about this experience with us and here are their thoughts:
Silvia:
"I keep a beautiful memory of this experience, I enjoyed it, I met so many nice people and shared so many good moments. I came back enriched, happy to have had this opportunity.
Cecilia:
"Participating in the Erasmus+ project in Chania was a amazing experience, both from a human and educational point of view. We explored physical and mental health issues in an international context, learning about the importance of 360° well-being and confronting different cultures. I met wonderful people, shared moments that I will always carry with me and learned a lot, even about myself. I advise anyone who has the opportunity to live such an experience: it opens the mind, the heart… and even the passport!"
Marco:
I took part in an Erasmus Plus project in Crete and it was a very formative and stimulating experience. I met unique people from all over Europe, with whom I shared emotions and thoughts. I advise anyone to participate, it is a unique opportunity for personal and cultural growth.
