Sharing Good Practices: Creation of a Logo
Collaborative Art Project
"Let's create our shirs! (Designing a Well-Being Logo)
It serves several practical and symbolic purposes:
-
Strengthens the project’s identity. The T-shirts make participants feel part of a shared initiative. They create a sense of belonging and reinforce the project’s core values: mental health, emotional well-being, and self-care.
-
Raises awareness about mental well-being. By wearing the T-shirts during activities, workshops, or even outside the project context, the Mind Matters message reaches a wider audience and helps normalize conversations about mental health.
-
Encourages group cohesion. Wearing the same T-shirts helps break down barriers between participants from different countries and cultures. It fosters unity and equality, which are key aspects of Erasmus projects.
-
Acts as a dissemination tool. T-shirts are a simple and effective way to promote the project during events, in official photos, on social media, and in local activities, supporting the dissemination goals of the Erasmus+ programme.
-
Provides a lasting memory of the project. More than just merchandise, the T-shirts are a tangible keepsake that participants can continue to wear, keeping the message of mental well-being alive beyond the project.
-
Reinforces the educational message.Displaying the Well-being logo on a T-shirt turns an abstract concept into something visible and part of everyday life, reminding people that caring for the mind is just as important as caring for the body.
