Speakers: Mie Juul Ingerslev, Efterskolerne and Jannie Christiansen, teacher at Høng Efterskole
Several studies show an increase in young people's social dissatisfaction, including stress, pressure and loneliness. Schools are demanding a structured and proactive approach to working with pupils' well-being. With this workshop you will have a hands-on approach on how to work with well-being for the entire group of pupils. You will have an introduction to the concept Me&We and you will experience a handful of activities, that have been used at many lower secondary schools in Denmark over the last five years.

The purpose of Me&We is to:
Promote a socially strong youth generation and thus combat the increasing social dissatisfaction among young people
Strengthen young people's ability to establish and maintain the relationships they need
Inspire young people to take part in and take responsibility for the community
Give young people positive experiences of sharing what is difficult, and the opportunity to reflect in like-minded people
Support young people in creating a culture where they feel good enough
Support and supplement the teachers' knowledge, tools and structures to promote the well-being of young people
