On 25-26 September 2024, the conference Research in Education took place in Ljubljana. We presented the paper Creative Writing Workshops on Anxiety – A Participatory Approach to Developing Content in the Digital Mental Programme for Youth. We presented an example of a participatory approach in the development of the digital programme me_HeLi-D. The programme aims at promoting mental health literacy among pupils in upper primary school (12-15 years old). We analysed the stories created by the students and showed an example of how the stories could be used in the programme’s activities.
