Project Summary

The causes of stress that young people can face today can be varied: the saturation of the labour market with the consequent increase of youth unemployment rate; the exploitation in the labour market with short-term contracts and low pay for young people, general dissatisfaction with lack of rewards and recognition, workload, job tasks and lack of gender equality; study-related stress such as conflict with peers, time pressure, classroom conditions, etc.
We offered stress management and burnout prevention training, and we repeat the self-report questionnaires after the end of the course. The context analysis confirmed that we need develop a solid training in stress management for young people. The partners involved in the project are
Stichting Amsterdam European Mobility, Stichitng ZID from Netherlands , STEPP from Italy and A. Cultural Integra and Postal 3 from Spain. Integra and Stichting -ZID have experience in producing the training material. Postal 3 is an expert in creating Web apps and testing material with its youth workers and A’damMob has
experience in team management, testing material and dissemination results.
“Go Digital: stress management and burnout prevention” project aims to promote and enhance stress management, burnout prevention and emotional intelligence by developing a training programme for youngsters based on an innovative methodology.

The project focuses on the following needs identify during the directly work from partners with Youth workers and EU tendencies:
– Need 1: Identify the competences linked with stress management and burnout prevention;
– Need 2: Develop the curriculum associated to the competences involved in stress management;
– Need 3: Develop the digital training to improve stress management and burnout prevention in young people.

There are four main objectives linked with the needs detected:
– Objective1 linked to Need1:Review European framework of competences linked with stress management and burnout prevention ;
– Objective2 linked to Need2: Design the curriculum associated to the competences involved in stress management and burnout prevention.
– Objective3 linked to Need3: Develop the digital training of stress management and burnout prevention for young people.
– Objective 4: Develop a digital Tool to support Youth workers performance.
The first 3 objectives will be linked with the IO1 and the Objective 4 by the IO2.
IO1.Curriculum of stress management and Innovative methodology in stress manegement :
– Review European framework of competences in stress management and burnout prevention.
-Curriculum of stress management and burnout prevention: design the curriculum, partners will gather experiences, methods and practices in training and support for stress management.
POSTAL3 has been adapted a specific and innovative methodology to help to developing training materials. This give to the partership the base to create IO1.

IO2.Develop the digital application for training on stress management and burnout prevention: The aim of this tool is to demonstrate how daily challenges and demands lead to the accumulation ofpressure/tension over time. Participants are introduced to the Key Competencies for Managing. Pressure, comprising proven techniques to manage the accumulation of tension in themselves and others. Practice of these competencies leads to improved performance, increased vitality, and
greater resilience both for themselves and the organisation.

During the 20 months we will organize 3 Meetings and 1 Multiplier Event, to implement and assess project outcomes and to display all the intellectual outputs in order to disseminate the results of the project. The partnership idea is create a stress management Curriculum and an app that trains you in stress management and burnout prevention, similar to the ones you use to heath/body training. The app will show you every day routins and training so that you can improve your stress management,
reach goals and train others later.
The App will be tested with youth workers and once they learn parameters and how to use it they can train youth people.

Methodology to be used in carrying out the Project:
The methodology has been adapted by POSTAL3 to help to developing training materials through the use of a customized Methodology Readiness Level (MRL) system. This MRL method is based on the systems developed by both NASA and DOE, specifically with the Cleantech industry in mind. By following a serie of phases linked with milestones, this method will guide the appropriate development of the Intellectual outputs for the project.

A short description of the results and impact envisaged and finally the potential longer term benefits.
The entities of this project are really committed with the stress problem and inside the plan is create a permanent network.
In regards with the sustainability, we want to create a strong net of stakeholders who can participate in the activities as well in the dissemination and in the sustaina
