The general objective of this project is to equip staff in various settings (schools, workplaces, older peoples’ living environment) with the resources required to enhance the mental wellbeing of young people, the labour force and older people. This project will enable professionals working in these areas to acquire the appropriate skills and knowledge to address these issues through effective mental health promotion.

The main thrust of the project is to build upon existing expertise; to transform this expertise into usable and useful manuals for people working in the field; and to use existing networks and resources to ensure that the project outputs are used as widely as possible in as many countries and languages as possible.

The project aims to:

• Produce MHP manuals targeted at the three settings
• Develop a MHP training specification
• Create an e-learning course
• Field test the manuals and training
• Amend the manuals and training
• Valorise the manuals and training through mental health networks and multiplier organisations

The overall objective of the project is to foster adoption of healthy life styles among children in primary schools in urban areas of Croatia and Slovenia. This will be achieved through development and implementation of the innovative programme for health promotion (Healthy Eco Life programme). The idea is to test innovative approaches in health promotion in one candidate country and in one member state to compare the effects of proposed programme in countries with different social and cultural backgrounds as well as economic development levels. Methodology of the programme will be based on EU best practices in health promotion but complemented with ecological awareness aspect of the health. Learning about health through interactive group work in classes will be combined with practical lessons provided in natural and rural context. As a main part of the programme the school children from urban areas of Zagreb and Maribor will visit eco-agricultural farms in the rural areas.
Start date: 01/03/2010 - End date: 01/07/2011
