Mental Health and Culture Exchange in Egypt | BETTER MINDS

by: IRIS Egypt

The Program “Better Minds” for International Youth is a 4 days training in Alexandria, Egypt. We focus on the importance of mental health for young people who travel, volunteer or work with people from different cultures. International youth exchanges offer powerful learning experiences, but they also come with responsibilities related to participants’ wellbeing, mental health, and safety. Youth workers and group leaders play a key role in creating supportive environments, preventing crises, and responding effectively when challenges arise. This training course is designed for experienced youth workers, organisers, and group leaders  who wish to strengthen their competences in ensuring participant wellbeing and safety during international mobility activities.

Program Highlights

Strengthen youth workers’ capacity to ensure wellbeing and safety in international youth exchange

Equip organisers and group leaders with practical tools for mental health support and crisis management

Develop skills in assertive, empathetic communication in intercultural group settings

Support sustainable youth work practices through reflection, self-care, and professional resilience

Please note that this program is self-funded, so we can sustain our non-profit organization work.
