Virtual camp 1

Virtual exchange consist of online people-to-people activities that promote intercultural dialogue without physical mobility.

Within the scope of the Erasmus+ KA2 the “wExchange” project aims at promoting mental well-being through online exchange in secondary schools.

The overall aim of this virtual exchange is to develop peer-to-peer methods to support mental health literacy and to promote teenagers’ mental wellbeing. This work will be done together with pupils, so that the methods focus on everyday life of young people.

The 5-day virtual camp takes place on October the 3rd, 4th, 10th,11th and 12th. During these days, the 80 Finnish, Greek, Portuguese and Slovenian pupils involved (aged 13-16 years), together with the around 20 teachers and health professionals, will develop mental health literacy skills through peer-based activities and virtual exchange educational methods. Afterwards there will be workshops where the pupils will put the knowledge gained from the project into practice. This first online event is expected to be a remarkable experience for all.
