In continuation of our “Keep Dreaming” project, which focuses on enhancing the mental well-being and social participation of young volunteers, we’re excited to share the second part of our podcast series. This project, driven by European Solidarity Corps volunteers from InterMediaKT, dives deeper into the personal stories and practical insights of those experiencing mobility and its impact on mental health.
In this second part, the focus shifts to the emotional journey of preparing for and adjusting to new environments, and how finding a sense of belonging can influence mental well-being.
