On 3 February 2023, the partners held the online kick-off meeting.

At the meeting, we discussed in detail all the work packages that we will implement throughout the project, as well as issues of quality assurance, ongoing management and dissemination of project results.

The first step to increase awareness of anxiety and mental health among employees and students of universities will be to conduct a multi-stage analysis of the situation in partner countries.

Consortium members will diagnose whether, and if so, what kind of support programs exist in their countries, and whether the subject of mental well-being is included in existing programs and practices at universities.

They will also conduct interviews with representatives of the key target groups of the project: academic lecturers, students, as well as representatives of non-governmental organizations dealing with the subject of mental health.

A guide to good practices in the countries of the project consortium will be created.
