"The project ”Book of life – Write your own bestseller” is a strategic partnership project hat aims to achieve transnational and cross-sectoral cooperation in order to develop, test and implement innovative non-formal methods of working with young adults, through a combination of expressive techniques, in order to increase their involvement in community life, to motivate them to become the architects of their own lives and to teach them how to gain independence to build a healthy lifestyle, from a personal and a professional point of view.The specific objectives that meet the general purpose are:O1. Increasing the capacity of young people to reach the planning and implementation of a healthy lifestyle (physically, mentally, emotionally and relationally) through the use of innovative expressive tools in the process of personal and professional development.O2. Increasing the quality of non-formal activities in the youth field by elaborating, testing and disseminating a toolkit for personal and professional development for young people, as well as an integrated intervention program that youth workers can use to develop the decision-making capacity of young people for an independent and fulfilled life.O3. Increasing the organizational capacity of 5 European youth organizations, to use non-formal tools focused on the personal development of young people and to create sustainable working methodologies in the youth field.The main issues from which the development of this project started was the increased age of young adults in launching later in independent life (over 28 years old, according to the latest Eurostat statistics) and with more and more problems related to the incidence of unemployment (15.2%), professional frustrations and re-professionalization after the age of 30 (for example, within the coordinating organization, Gamma Institute, over 50% of the trainees in psychotherapy are over 35 years old and come to classes as a re-professionalization after practicing professions that did not bring them personal satisfaction, besides financial security), the incidence of anxiety disorders and depression among young people (WHO declared that by 2020 the first cause of disabling diseases, the percentage among the young people being an increase - 27%) and the negative influence on the development of the family plan (increasing the marriage age, postponing the birth of the first child). This problem is a global one, not just a European one, and the 5 partner organizations have noticed all these problems in the young adults they work with, and, lately, they have also noticed a decrease in the motivation of the youth workers to remain in the long term in this area, because, often, their efforts to motivate and stimulate young people to follow a healthy lifestyle has no long-term effect.The solution that the partners from this project thought of was to offer a broader perspective on the approach of life in general by young adults, through integrative, expressive tools, to follow their learning style: providing information in an easy way, like tips & tricks for healthy life, a life planner they can use to organize and learn to set some efficient (SMART) goals, a website with integrated resources, where young people can find information from many areas of life (health, education, sports, culture, etc.) and a guide regarding the choice of personal and professional route through sketching and therapeutic metaphor. All of these tools will be included in a toolkit, which will serve as a ""toolkit for life"" that will be available to young people when they want to build and implement their future plans. The personal development toolkit ""The book of Life"" includes a healthy launch manual for independent living, addressed to young people, a booklet with individual worksheets distributed on skills such as financial, time management, resources, management of intense emotions, a life planner (agenda type), and a third part that includes an 18-hour personal development program, which can be implemented by youth workers and a web platform with resources for youth and youth workers, with information and guidance for implementing a healthy lifestyle, physically, mentally, emotionally and relationally."
