Thrive and Shine is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange focused on resilience, mental health awareness and emotional well-being. The project aims to support young people in building healthy coping skills, speaking more openly about mental health and reducing stigma around emotional challenges.

During the exchange, participants will explore how social media can affect mental health and learn practical strategies to reduce its negative impact. The programme will also introduce mindfulness techniques that participants can use in daily life to manage stress and anxiety.

The project will take place in Paphos, Cyprus from 24 October to 1 November 2026.

Participants will be encouraged to become mental health ambassadors among their peers, sharing the knowledge and techniques gained during the exchange within their communities.

Age of participants: 18-30, leader 18+

Accommodation and meals during the project will be free of charge. Travel expenses will be reimbursed according to Erasmus+ rules after the project. Active TavoEuropa membership is required to participate.
