'Mindful Motion' was an immersive 7-day training course on emotional well-being, which took place in the mountain village of Fužine, Croatia, from March 17th to 24th, 2024. It gathered 23 participants from 6 countries: Croatia, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Albania, and Poland. In the peaceful mountain town of Fužine, participants explored various techniques and created valuable tools for youth work.

The HEureka Generator Association was represented by our volunteer Dominik Puława and a member of our organization, Aleksandra Chudek.

Aleksandra Chudek:
Participants in this training course came from Poland, Ukraine, Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia, Albania, and Croatia. For me, the most interesting part of this training course was the sessions focused on the 'psychology of emotions' and 'techniques of emotional release'. We learned there, among other things, how to breathe properly and how to calm down using very simple methods.

Dominik Puława:
For me, the most interesting session was 'Basics of self-defense'. We learned how to prevent unpleasant situations in our lives and also how not to feel offended. Leading one of the workshops was stressful for me at the beginning, but after a while, all the stress faded away because the whole group was really engaged in my workshop, and everyone was pleased with the result.

Upon returning to Poland, Dominik and Ola conducted sessions to disseminate the project's results during the youth exchange organized by our association.

Throughout the entire duration of the training course, our organization also maintained an InstaStory to enhance the visibility of our activities:
