How can we make the need for this action understood empathically?  What stories can we tell that highlight the importance of this action? What would happen if this action was not adapted? What would be the best case scenario if this action was adapted? What would be the positive ripple effects that can be described?

A lot of useful and innovative practice wad developed during pandemic- should we keep some of this.

# data[].attributes.body
International Virtual Youth Centres, Virtual youth centres that young people can access at times when physical centres are closed - Virtual spaces in video games, chatlines etc. Common spaces/repositories where YW can learn from each other (localised or centralised??) Hybrid face to face and Virtual provision of YW

Just because the pandemic is over it is a shame to lose the good practice that developed during it. A return to what we done before would dismiss this- important to take the best and most effective bits of each and reconfigure what we know as youth work

# data[].attributes.body
The formal education system puts a lot of pressure on children and young people. Our action aims to blend formal and non-formal education. We put the focus on the process and the soft skills. This will also give Youth Work more recognition as a key actor and improve the mental health of young people.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people are not a homogenous group. Some are overwhelmed by education, others want to be more challenged.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people will have a higher self esteem and will have the chance to develop their skills and personality to become empathetic adults in a peaceful world.

# data[].attributes.body
If we do not adapt the educational system and highlight the importance of non-formal education we will observe more and more frustrated and overwhelmed children which will lead to school drop-outs and mental health problems.

# data[].attributes.body
The pandemic showed that public spaces are safer for people to gather together. Therefore we want to make them more accessable to young people.
It's very important to get local governments involved to work out some rules but the rules have to be made in cooperation with young people.
Have regular neighbourhood meetings to talk with each other.
Implement means to make spaces safe for everyone - some kind of control is necessary.
Let the young people work on the spaces themselves so they feel more responsibility for them.
Plan intergenerational events or activities.

# data[].attributes.body
In most countries people weren't allowed to meet in private homes and bars and restaurants were closed.
In many cities there are rules that make it more difficult for young people to meet.

Further analysis on mental health (research + inclusion of different stakeholders e.g. psychologists)
System dynamics - causes & consequences (is mental health just compounded by the pandemic or caused by the pandemic? also, having an element, like "social anxiety" - what other elements are in this "universe" of social anxiety and where can we act in order to have impact?)
Youth Work Recovery platform with best practice collection

# data[].attributes.body
Young people will get used to meeting in public places so in times of crises they won't lose their social contacts as easily. Additionally young people in cities can get closer to nature which will have positive impacts on their psychological health.

# data[].attributes.body
If we do not adapt the educational system and highlight the importance of non-formal education we will observe more and more frustrated and overwhelmed children which will lead to school drop-outs and mental health problems.

# data[].attributes.body
More mental health research is needed :)
There are still questions that need answer - are mental health issues a cause or a consequence? which would be the key actions that could have the most impact? System dynamics scheme to be developed.
Best practice are not documented in order to be shared / spread.

# data[].attributes.body
A more comprehensive way of acting upon the most urgent needs and a measurable approach of elements in a system (systems thinking).
A collection of measures and actions that can be accessed by youth workers for inspiration and finding the best ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
These are 2 seemingly separate ideas (a system dynamics analysis and a place to collect best new practices) that could be imagined as an easy to understand mind map for youth workers in terms of:
- what is the status-quo
- where to act in terms of mental health of youth in order to have impact and what elements of the system this action influences (positively and negatively)
- a place where yw can find, by using key words, best practice examples and descriptions of activities
Mental health is an overarching element that needs to be broken down into pieces and further analysed.

# data[].attributes.body
1. creating spaces that are safe and non judgemental.

2. Get to talk about it more, in schools, youth spaces. Transformig the word mental health from a pathologie to a more selfcare word.

3. Taking care of the professional gives a better service to the young people.

# data[].attributes.body
You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Normalize the word mental health and creating a secure base.

# data[].attributes.body
Normalize talking about mental health, the young people get more resilient in life.
