Developed as part of the Erasmus+ Project “EmpowerCanvas”, ARTMind provides youth workers, educators, and young people with practical, ready-to-use resources that blend reflection, self-expression, and empowerment.

Whether used in workshops, classrooms, or personal development settings, ARTMind supports both online and offline learning, making it an adaptable and inclusive tool for youth work in various contexts.

Objective

The main goal of ARTMind is to help at-risk youth build emotional resilience through creative engagement.
By combining artistic activities with mindfulness and guided reflection, ARTMind encourages:
