In Kaunas, Lithuania, Tavo Europa organized a one-day workshop to promote youth inclusion and healthy living through movement, dialogue, and shared learning.

From Isolation to Inclusion Young participants explored how wellness habits—from walking to cooking—can help reduce stress and build friendships, especially among youth at risk of exclusion. Workshop Goals
  • Highlight the mental health benefits of physical activity.
  • Tackle harmful body image norms among teens.
  • Connect wellness to community engagement.
Key Activities
  • Movement Breaks – Energizers between sessions to boost mood and focus.
  • Open Dialogue – Safe space for sharing personal experiences with health, stigma, or loneliness.
  • Community Cooking – Making a simple, healthy meal together.
Participant Reflections
"We often feel pressure to look a certain way. Today reminded me that health is about feeling good, not looking perfect."
Outputs and Legacy Tavo Europa published a youth-friendly checklist called “Healthy Habits for Everyone” shared online and in schools.
