Join us for “Empowering Youth: Strategies for Navigating Stress and Anxiety,” a training course designed for young trainers, youth workers, young psychologists, performers and people working on the arts, as well as people interested in helping others going through anxiety and stress.

Led by the Vienna Association of Education Volunteers as part of the COPE project funded by the European Union. This course features guest Jessica Cottee who will guide us through an experiential workshop using dance and movement for well-being.

Jessica Cottee – a fusion of humanistic psychotherapy and dance. As a fully qualified humanistic and integrative psychotherapist and a passionate dancer, Jessica explores innovative ways to facilitate therapeutic and creative growth.

COPE is a project that helps young people cope with the mental health challenges of living through the war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic. We use art and digital tools to provide peer support and build key protective factors that can help young people navigate these difficult times.

Amongst our goals, we aim to:

Empower youth workers to support young people in managing stress and anxiety by building their capacity.
Develop a heritage-led course on psycho-emotional education through art that is practical and accessible.
