Join us and discover how creativity, connection and art can become powerful tools for prevention and care.

In MPAS, we are creating a community of artists who are actively dedicating themselves to activities aiming at the prevention of mental health issues. These artists were empowered through dedicated training sessions organised in various parts of Europe. Have a look on how this community of artists was developed in Greece last March: https://mpas-project.eu/training-of-artists-greece/

Preventing Mental Health Issues among Young Adults

Join us on Tuesday, 14 July at 10:00 CET for a Facebook Live discussion with Dimana Miteva, child psychologist, parenting consultant and content creator from Varna.

During the event, we will explore some of the most important questions around young people’s mental health today: What are the main challenges they face? What causes or increases these risks? Why are vulnerable young people more exposed? And, most importantly, how can prevention work?

The discussion will also focus on the MPAS methodology and on how artistic practices, creativity and the role of artists can contribute to emotional resilience, self-expression, social connection and the prevention of mental health issues among young vulnerable people.

Let’s talk about prevention, creativity and the power of art to support young people’s well-being.

Από 27 έως 29 Μαρτίου, το MPAS (Mental Prevention through Artistic Skills) υλοποιεί ένα τριήμερο βιωματικό εκπαιδευτικό εργαστήρι, που θα υλοποιηθεί από την hopeart.

Δεν πρόκειται απλώς για ένα face to face workshop.
Είναι ένας χώρος όπου η τέχνη γίνεται γλώσσα πρόληψης.

Μέσα από κίνηση, αφήγηση, μουσική, εικαστική έκφραση,μέσα από εργαλεία σύνδεσης,ασκήσεις συστημικών αναπαραστάσεων ,τεχνικές performance, διερευνούμε πώς η καλλιτεχνική πράξη μπορεί να ενισχύσει:

• Το αίσθημα του ανήκειν
• Την έννοια της ταυτότητας
• Την συνειδητοποίηση της προσωπικής αποστολής του καθενός

Το MPAS αναπτύχθηκε μέσα από τη συνεργασία οργανισμών από την Ισπανία (Proyecto Nagual), τη Βουλγαρία (APB), την Ιταλία (Omphalos) και την Ελλάδα (Hopeart), δημιουργώντας ένα ευρωπαϊκό πεδίο συνάντησης τέχνης και πρόληψης ψυχικής υγείας.

📍 Αθήνα
📅 27–29 Μαρτίου
🎟 Δωρεάν συμμετοχή (κατόπιν επιλογής)

Η τέχνη συνδέει.
Η τέχνη προλαμβάνει.
Η τέχνη ενδυναμώνει.

Η τέχνη είναι το μέσο για την σύνδεση με αυτό που είμαστε πραγματικά💜

CIAO A TUTTI!

Yesterday, in Torino, we held the second day of the second transnational meeting of the MPAS project.

The day was dedicated to perfecting and shaping the Face to Face Workshops that will be implemented in Spain 🇪🇸, Italy 🇮🇹 and Greece 🇬🇷.
We worked in depth on formats, methodologies and artistic practices focused on the prevention of mental health challenges through creativity, participation and collective care.

👉 If you are an artist or creative professional interested in mental health issues prevention, stay very attentive.
Open calls for Spain 🇪🇸 and Greece 🇬🇷 will be launched soon.

During these days, we are also carrying out the Face to Face Workshop in Italy 🇮🇹 at .push a space that makes it possible for this workshop to take place in the best possible conditions, supporting care, creativity and meaningful exchange.
We would also like to warmly thank for hosting us during our second day of the meeting. A cultural space full of enthusiasm and vision, and a project we are sure will continue to grow and thrive.

We’ll keep sharing updates, insights and meaningful moments from the process.

A presto!!

BUONGIORNO A TUTTI!

We’re writing you from Torino, where all the partners of the MPAS project have come together for our second transnational project meeting.
🇪🇸 🇬🇷 and APB 🇧🇬 are spending these days sharing work, dialogue and meaningful connection.

Yesterday marked our first day together — a moment to pause, look back at the path we’ve already walked, and shape the next steps of this shared journey, aligning visions, intentions and upcoming actions.

MPAS is a project co-funded by Creative Europe 🇪🇺 focused on the prevention of mental health challenges among vulnerable young adults in Italy 🇮🇹, Spain 🇪🇸 and Greece 🇬🇷. Through artistic, participatory and community-based practices, we aim to nurture spaces of care, expression and resilience.

Today we move into the second day of the meeting, diving deeper into the project and the road ahead.

More updates and new insights coming very soon — stay close!!

Almost ready for launch 🚀

Our toolkit is on its way to help prevent mental health problems through self expression and art. We are extremely excited to share our work with the rest of the world 🌟

Protect your mental health! Love yourself ❤️
