PRACTICALITIES

CULTURE OF MINDFULNESS

In our team, we believe that mindful living is the first step to WELLbeing. To feel comfortable, we encourage you to check in with yourself that you are passionate about the topic and ready to spend a week in a peaceful venue, with no intoxicants, emerging into yourself, group connection and non-formal learning. You are so welcomed to contribute to the culture by bringing your favorite workshop, instrument, poems, incense, game, maybe even special clothes...let’s co-create.

NOTE: This is an alcohol-free event.

NGO NETWORKING

International events create magical space to meet inspiring people from different organizations all over Europe, to make partnerships for future initiatives. Thus it is useful to get familiar with your sending NGO and get ready to present it (if you wish).

DISSEMINATION

Dissemination is a crucial part of any Erasmus+ funded project. The European Commission is investing in You, as a community leader, thus each of us is responsible to give back and share the positive experience among our network with the goal that at least one newcomer discovers the opportunities of Erasmus+. Each participant is responsible to perform:

1) Visibility on social media: share at least one post/story on your personal/NGOs social media about your experience during the exchange, tag Well-being Lab (not hashtag but actual clickable tag):

https://www.facebook.com/WellbeingLABSweden

https://www.facebook.com/NGOJazzON

https://www.instagram.com/wellbeinglabngo/

2) Short article: one participant per country shall write a short article about the experience and post it on sending NGOs website/social media (tagging Well-being Lab);

3) Dissemination workshop: each national group organizes one workshop with 10 local people about the

experience. Pictures from workshop shall be sent to wellbeinglab.sweden@gmail.com
