“Be Active, Be Well” platform is up and running!

The platform for empowering European youths and youth workers to integrate physical activity within youths’ daily lives is now available!

PREPARING & TESTING THE PLATFORM

Partners & professionals had a 3-day training seminar in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, on May 5-8, 2025. During the sessions, youth workers and technical experts had the chance to review the online platform, the user guides for youth and youth workers and the challenges included in the online platform.

The participants discussed for the effectiveness of physical activity against mood disorders, such as depression, and anxiety disorders within youths aged 15-30 years. They also examined the underlying psychological mechanisms that determine whether youths are regularly physically active. Plus, possible refinements of the platform’s design were discussed among the group in order to finalise the platform.
