Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing among Young People through Yoga (HIPPOCAMPUS)

One of the key challenges in effective work with young people is their frequent lack of engagement, a characteristic that many of those who spend time with adolescents (youth workers, parents, teachers) can attest to. Proposed solutions frequently fail to address core issues relating to the intrinsic motivation of the individual, which is directly related to well-being. Many young people suffer from chronic stress and other issues that inhibit the functioning (and indeed the development) of the prefrontal cortex, and this also affects their intrinsic motivation to engage in any activity. In short, unless their well-being is addressed, they cannot engage effectively.

The emergence of the young as a distinct social group, and their slowly increasing empowerment through the availability of digital technology, has brought with it an understanding that they have a key role to play in the digital society, as drivers of new behaviours and understandings. However, their active participation in society is not reflected sufficiently in policy and decision-making, especially in relation to digital issues.

Combating gender stereotypes by highlighting women’s contribution to the history of societies (HerStory)

History reflects power relations. The field of history was invariably guided by a male dominant compass. This fact encourages societies to put value on men, their role in shaping society and their accomplishments, more than those of women. Historiography lacks basic information about women’s action in history. As the mainstream literature on women’s history is limited, their contribution to society and the struggles for women’s rights are more likely invisible.
