YOMN (Youth Matters Now) is an organisation specialised in educational innovation and psychosocial wellbeing, based in the Region of Murcia, Spain.
Founded in 2012, our organisation — Asociación Red Europea Los Jóvenes Importan Ahora — brings together over 25 member organisations across Europe to design, implement and evaluate transformative interventions within programmes such as Erasmus+, CERV and European Commission centralised actions.
Our work spans community mental health, social cohesion, gender equality, intergenerational dialogue, teacher wellbeing, active ageing and digital educational transformation. We use experiential and evidence-based methodologies — theatre, art therapy, mindfulness, Gestalt and somatic approaches — to generate deep, sustainable change at individual and community levels.
We were born in the youth field and maintain that commitment to new generations, but our expertise and methodologies have extended to all age groups and contexts where experiential education can generate impact.
Experiential
Methodologies based on lived experience: theatre, body, narrative and mindfulness as vehicles for transformation.
Transnational
Network of 25+ organisations in 15 countries. Solid consortia for Erasmus+, CERV and centralised actions.
Inclusive
We work with groups at risk of exclusion: young people, women, informal carers, vulnerable communities.
Evidence-based
Gestalt, MBSR and somatic approaches applied with rigour. Impact evaluation integrated into every project.
