Project objectives

Project cooperation between universities, primary schools and publishing houses will not only contribute to the high quality of outputs, but will also ensure an open educational resource on the topic of mental health for target groups. Our efforts will focus on the development of a comprehensive toolkit that will include the four project deliverables. The goal is to design, develop, test and validate a product that would be directly addressed to students and teachers on the topic of Well-being.
