Guess what? Mosaica just scored its first Erasmus+ project approval! It is called Conscious Bodies: E-ntimacy. This incredible project celebrates an important step in our journey to empower young people and youth workers across Europe with the tools and knowledge they need to handle the complexities of online relationships and digital intimacy.
About the project
Conscious Bodies: E-ntimacy is an innovative initiative designed to tackle the challenges and opportunities that come with promoting healthy sexual and romantic relationships in the online world. With the increasing prominence of digital platforms in shaping how we connect with others, the project aims to provide youth workers with a deeper understanding of:
● The dynamics of online relationships, including dating, communication, and boundary-setting.
● The risks associated with online interactions, such as grooming, revenge porn, and online dating scams.
● Practical tools and methodologies to educate young people about safer and healthier practices in digital intimacy.
The vision behind the project
The project focuses on using non-formal education methods to engage participants actively. This includes interactive workshops, role-playing activities, group discussions, and creative outputs like online handbooks and video guides. By emphasizing practical and participatory learning, we hope to ensure that participants not only gain knowledge but also feel confident in applying what they’ve learned in their work with young people.
A collaborative effort
This project emerges from a joint effort led by our dedicated team at Mosaica. We would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of our passionate youth workers and project writers who were instrumental in drafting the proposal. Their dedication to crafting impactful and relevant content was essential for the project’s approval. We take great pride in this success and look forward to observing the positive changes it will inspire within our communities.
