Hands & Minds

Highlights: handcrafting, emotional balance, connecting, meditation

​

What connects us as humans is our shared desire to be happy and to feel good. But today, many people, especially our generation Gen Z, struggle with this. To help with this mental health crisis, we in this Youth Exchange introduce you to the simple joys of working with your hands, like painting or sculpting with clay.
