Have you ever felt alone?
Nowadays one in four teenagers feels alone in Spain and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 5 and 15 percent experience loneliness worldwide. Loneliness has an important impact on mental and physical health, such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, insomnia…
Furthermore, social isolation increases the risk of developing dementia, cardivascular diseases and early death in a long term.
Our 4th year Economics students have researched and created a project about loneliness in young people. They have studied the most common causes and effects and, in groups, they have developed entreprenurial solutions. Then, they explained and showed them in class!
These projects have helped students to learn about one of the biggest mental health problems in our society and have improved their English skills.
Here we have some videos and posters from them!
