Almost half of students in the Netherlands feel stressed at school on a regular basis. This is evident from several surveys. Part of the solution in strengthening young people's mental resilience could lie with the school environment. But how can the high school environment be conducive to mental well-being, so that students suffer less from performance pressure, for example? During this challenge, you will work with other students, experts and students on this question.

With the ZIEN campaign NUOVO schools want to stimulate the conversation about mental health at school. In this video, six diverse duos consisting of students, teachers, OOPs, parents and school leaders talk to each other about a variety of topics, such as: superpowers, self-image, vulnerability and courage. The main message? It all starts with seeing each other.

Perhaps you recognize this yourself from yourself or people around you and have ideas on how the school can contribute to the mental health of students.

Therefore, we would like to hear from you how you think the high school environment can be conducive to mental well-being for young people.

During this challenge, you will explore with other students, experts and students in what ways the high school environment can be conducive to student mental well-being.

In the challenge, you get started:

• In a team with students from mbo, college and university(all Utrecht students can participate)
• With the latest insights on mental health and learn more about design thinking and concept development
• With the organizations and the field working for mental well-being of young people
• With creative ideas that you can continue working on after the challenge (think an internship, thesis or your own business)

At the end of the challenge, you will present your ideas to the organizations involved at Health Hub Utrecht and NUOVO schools.

NUOVO schools and Health Hub Utrecht will try to advance and try out the most valuable useful ideas.
