The COSTABEX project, an Erasmus+ KA2 strategic partnership, has brought together partners from Lithuania, Slovenia and the Czech Republic to create key mental health and support resources tailored to Erasmus+ students. Over the past three years (November 2021 to October 2024), the team has dedicated itself to developing practical tools and programmes that offer psychological support to students at every stage of their exchange – before departure, during their stay abroad and after their return.
The project strives to provide students with the necessary support to manage their wellbeing during their international experience.
As the COSTABEX project concludes in October 2024, the developed resources are now fully available on the COSTABEX website. These tools enable Erasmus+ students to make the most of their mobility by providing valuable guidance for every step of their journey.
Key COSTABEX project resources available:
- Webinars: Participate in interactive seminars on topics such as culture shock, mental health, conflict management and financial planning – with useful skills for studying abroad.
- Advisory e-newsletters: Coordinators and students can access prepared e-messages on key topics such as accommodation tips, stress management, crisis management and return shock.
- Quiz: Complete a practical quiz and find out if you are sufficiently well prepared for mobility.
- Useful resources: Consider the practical aspects of your exchange and access tools that make planning easier (food preparation, participation in local communities, healthcare abroad, cost calculation, language learning, weather monitoring, etc.)
- Comprehensive handbook: A handbook for Erasmus+ coordinators with guidelines for implementing these tools, ensuring consistent mental health support for students.
Why COSTABEX resources are essential for Erasmus+ students:
Whether you are preparing for your journey, adjusting to life abroad or returning home, COSTABEX mental health resources help you manage stress and overcome new challenges. With these tailored tools, the COSTABEX project enables students to focus on the positive aspects of mobility and feel supported throughout all stages.
