The ELSA Living Lab Learning for the Future invites all staff and students of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSW) to develop an innovative Mental Health tool specifically aimed at students. We have three prizes of €2,000 each available for the best ideas.

What is a Mental Health Tool?

By a Mental Health tool, we mean a program or application that supports the mental health of students. This can range from a platform for peer support, a website with resources and information about mental health, an app to support learning in a healthy manner, or to innitiate interventions that reduce stress and promote well-being.

How can you participate?

To participate, you must submit an application. This can be done individually or as a group. Describe in 3-5 A4 pages the 'why, what, and how' of your tool and provide information about the theoretical framework and methods you will use. Also, include an estimate of the required time and budget. For specific requirements, please take a look here.
