2nd Project Meeting in Greece
The second physical meeting of the EMERGE Youth project took place in Athens, Greece, bringing together partners to continue their collaborative efforts.
A key part of the meeting focused on finalising the Stress Management EduPack. Partners worked intensively to refine, adjust, and enrich its content, ensuring it responds to the real needs of young people and promotes well-being and resilience. The consortium also reviewed the initial design of the EMERGE WebApp, which will serve as a digital platform to support youth with stress management and employability tools. Feedback was shared, and several extra features were discussed to enhance the user experience and functionality of the app.
In preparation for the next stages, partners planned the national pilot workshops, where the EduPack will be tested in each partner country with direct involvement of young participants. Additionally, the team coordinated the approach for collecting best practices in stress management and employability, which will contribute valuable insights and resources to the project.
The Athens meeting was a valuable opportunity to strengthen cooperation, align on goals, and build excitement for the next phase of EMERGE Youth.

A survey of 383 young people across six European countries revealed that most experience moderate to high stress levels, with only 4% reporting very low stress. Key stressors include financial issues, job-related concerns, and academic pressures. Stress impacts participants through increased anxiety (22%), difficulty sleeping (16%), and trouble concentrating (15%). Notably, 77% expressed interest in attending free stress management workshops. The EMERGE Youth project addresses these needs by providing essential tools to help young Europeans manage stress effectively, empowering them to succeed in their personal and professional lives.

Young Europeans face significant stressors, including FOMO from social media, high rates of bullying (affecting over 20% of students), and anxiety around schoolwork, which surpasses the global average. Additionally, body dissatisfaction poses a major risk to mental health, as highlighted by a 2019 UNICEF report. The EMERGE Youth Project tackles these challenges by empowering youth with effective stress management skills to foster resilience and personal growth.
