The WellNext project aims to develop a comprehensive, sustainable Wellbeing System for youth organizations. The goal is to enhance workplace culture, environment, and mindset to prevent burnout among youth workers, ensuring their mental and physical well-being. The project seeks to create long-term support systems, improve organizational health, and enhance youth workers’ overall work satisfaction and effectiveness.

The project will conduct wellbeing research, develop an evaluation system, create digital and offline tools (e.g., a game) to promote well-being, and train Wellbeing Experts within organizations. Key activities include research on best practices, tool creation, piloting, Wellbeing Experts training, mutual support system creating, mentoring period and dissemination events. Adventure therapy, coaching, and gamification approach will be integrated into the system.

Expected outcomes include a fully developed Wellbeing System, improved youth work practices, and enhanced mental health support in organizations. The project will produce digital and offline tools for well-being monitoring, a network of trained Wellbeing Experts, and a stronger culture of mental health awareness in youth organizations. Long-term benefits include reduced burnout rates and increased engagement in youth work, ensuring youth organizations with the tools and support.
