![[Translate to EN:] Projektlogo QueeResilience](/fileadmin/user_upload/Rainbow_3_with_text.png "[Translate to EN:]")
Project
QueeResilience aims to address the benefits and risks of digital media for the well-being of LGBTQ+ youth by raising awareness about the mental health implications of digital media usage, equipping youth workers with tools to assist LGBTQ+ youth in managing online stressors and leveraging digital media for mental well-being, as well as empowering young LGBTQ+ to actively engage in digital society, while fostering (digital) alliance among all young people for the LGBTQ+ community.
The project will leverage the perspectives of young LGBTQ+ and mental health experts, while including up-to-date research and academic literature to design online resources for youth workers.The target group of young LGBTQ+ will be involved in evaluating and piloting the material to ensure its relevance and quality. Additionally, young LGBTQ+ across the four partner countries will be involved in designing a pan-European awareness raising social media campaign in a co-creational process.
Aim of the project
QueeResilience will create
- a guidebook on the two-fold role of digital media use for young LGBTQ+ and with recommendations for youth work
- a series of workshop modules on digital minority stress, digital resources for mental wellbeing and digital advocacy that youth workers can implement in their organisations, and
- a social media campaign, created together with young LGBTQ+, to raise awareness on the mental health implications and benefits of digital media use.
QueeResilience is funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus+ program and is a cooperative project with partners from Lithuania, Czechia, and Slovakia. The Digital Opportunities Foundation serves as the project coordinator.
