WeMind

Project Goals and Objectives

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.

Objectives:

• Strengthen Mental Health Literacy
  Support students, faculty, and staff by integrating mental health education into university learning and everyday academic life.

• Improve Digital Mental Health Support
  Expand access to support through a multilingual digital mental health platform and trained student peer mentors.

• Advance Digital and Innovative Learning
  Build digital skills and innovative teaching practices that link student wellbeing with digital transformation in higher education.

• Empower Students and Future Leaders
  Develop mentorship, peer support, and innovation skills that support students’ personal growth, confidence, and employability.

• Promote Inclusion and Equity
  Build digital skills and innovative teaching practices that link student wellbeing with digital transformation in higher education.

• Strengthen Regional and EU Collaboration
  Foster knowledge sharing, faculty exchange, and long-term academic partnerships across the Western Balkans and the EU.

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.
