Welcome to WE-MIND!
WE-MIND is an Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) project designed to transform how universities in Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina understand, support, and promote student mental health in the digital age.
The project brings together higher education institutions, students, mental health experts, and other stakeholders from the EU and the Western Balkans to build sustainable, inclusive, and digitally enabled mental health ecosystems within higher education. It particularly addresses the needs of students shaped by intergenerational trauma, social transition, and rapid technological change in post-conflict societies.
Core Concepts
Mental Health Literacy
Integrating mental health and wellbeing into higher education through updated curricula, first-year orientation courses, faculty training, and online resources to normalize dialogue and reduce stigma.
Digital Innovation
Developing a multilingual digital mental health platform offering self-help tools, multimedia resources, and access to peer and professional support.
Peer Mentorship
Empowering students as active contributors by training peer mentors to foster belonging, mutual support, and equitable access to resources within diverse student communities.
Capacity Building
Strengthening institutional capacity by equipping faculty and staff with skills to support student mental health and wellbeing, recognize signs of distress, and create psychologically safe classrooms.
Our Values
WE-MIND is grounded in inclusion, dignity, collaboration, innovation, and sustainability. It prioritizes the meaningful participation of underrepresented groups, including Roma and LGBTQ+ students and students with mental health challenges, working to reduce barriers and secure equitable access to support. We promote safe, respectful, and stigma-free learning environments and adopt a collaborative, co-creative approach to teaching and learning. WE-MIND strengthens institutional capacity and embeds mental health into higher education systems to create lasting impact beyond the project’s lifetime.
