NEWS RELEASE
MYndTheater consortium
1 Nov 2024 โ 31 Oct 2026
The MYndTheater project is Co-funded by the European Union.
Aims to promote the mental health of young people through the Forum Theater methodology, in response to the threats present in digital environments.
MYndTheater will focus on developing key skills in young people, such as knowledge skills, life skills, psycho-emotional skills, and practical skills that allow them to be better equipped to protect their emotional and psychological well-being during their online interaction and mitigate any negative repercussions on their real life.
The project foresees the application of the forum theater approach in the youth organizations as a non-formal strategy for the development of these skills, promoting expression, dialogue, empowerment, resilience, education, and awareness on these issues, within the dynamics of digital environments.
In addition to simultaneously promoting community participation and social support for the creation of new socio-affective relationships.
Taking into consideration these facts, MYndTheater was created and launched in November 2024.
The project is also in line with the priority of European Commission for the period 2019-2024: a) The โEuropean Digital Agendaโ and especially the part of the strategy which is related to the creation of โopen, democratic and sustainable digital societyโ.
The consortium consists of Two Plus Two โ Italy, Action Synergy โ Greece, UG DAH Teatar - Serbia, DREAMY - Italy, Prona - Montenegro, Together For Life - Albania, BRAVO - Bosnia and Herzegovina, and SFERA INT โ North Macedonia.

In particular, the project aims at improving the collaboration between Italy, Greece, 2 โthird countries associated to the Programmeโ like North Macedonia and Serbia and 3 countries from Western Balkan (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro), and contrast the historical scenario that in the past was afflicted by war and violence.

- to promote, at a local level, the discussion and the public debate on the issue of mental health, and
- to support the development of youth work in third countries not associated with the program, improving its quality and recognition; strategic alliance with Western Balkans countries.
