This toolkit is an outcome of the project “CORE: Collective Responsibility” directed to youth workers and youth, however, it can be useful for anyone looking for different ways of taking care of their own well-being and increasing self-awareness.
About
Based on the Nonviolent Communication approach and ways of understanding self-care, the toolkit wishes to address a broad topic of wellbeing. Understanding the relationship between needs that are met and unmet that are the reasons for our emotional states, the aim is to propose a few strategies for achieving a state of well-being in everyday life.
The toolkit shares a few ideas of how you can contribute to be able to draw conclusions for yourself from the proposed practices and your day to day life, complete your routine with reflection practices. It will help you discover what supports your self-care and well-being most, and your local community.
Why do we consider it important? Well, “no man is an island”, we are all interconnected. We all need each other for different reasons. We are all social beings, we need others as much as they need us. Having good relations with others is essential for well-being.
The Project
The project CORE was designed as a process of exploration of self that led to understanding a broader context of our roles in society. During the training course, the participants have researched themselves in the context of a group and widened the understanding of their emotions, values & needs. This helped develop a sense of civic responsibility.
The participants took the perspective of the community, felt the power of unity and unlocked the creative potential for building engagement, empathy and responsibility in each individual.
The outcome of this project is this toolkit.
