International Training Course
\n“Emotional Intelligence (EI)”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nWorcester, United Kingdom<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In principle, Emotional Intelligence (EI) relates to the ability to recognise our own emotions and those of other
\npeople and to understand the influence of those on our behaviour, communication, our self-esteem, etc.
\nTherefore, in the course of the mobility we shall focus especially on developing understanding and practical
\ntools related to two major areas:
\n1) EI Personal competences: self-awareness, self-regulation (self-control, conscientiousness, adaptability,
\ninnovation), self-motivation (achievement drive, commitment)
\n2) EI Social competences: empathy (understanding others) and social skills (communication, conflict
\nmanagement, leadership, collaboration and cooperation, team capabilities).<\/p>\n

More and more young people nowadays are simply lost and instead of following their passions and interests, they end up in a typical rat race, chasing somebody else\u2019 dreams rather than their own. Unfortunately, this comes at the huge emotional and mental expense of falling into depression, diminishing one’s self-esteem and self-worth, experiencing an identity crisis, losing the will to do anything, etc. To address the issue, we decided to look at the matter from a different angle. Our inspiration comes from Sir Ken Robinson and his insights in “The Element.” He writes there: “Human resources are like natural resources; they\u2019re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they\u2019re not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.” With the above in mind, we reached out into a great body of youth work practices to help address the situation. What we found is that one of the best ways of supporting young people is through applying tools and methods of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE to our everyday youth work practices.<\/p>\n

The following project is aimed at developing capacities of youth work practitioners in effectively applying emotional intelligence practices to empower young people towards \u2018finding their \u2018Element\u2019\u2019 as well as working on shaping their further personal and professional development. We wish to achieve that by: – reflecting on the situation of young people nowadays to better understand the need for support and guidance in pursing their passions, talents, etc – training youth work practitioners in basic concepts of EI and building the case for its application in the youth field – providing first-hand experience in developing emotional intelligence competences (personal and social) as a means of bringing out the positive elements (talents) in young people – equipping youth work practitioners with a set of creative tools and methods related to youth empowerment through emotional intelligence) – exchanging further tools and best practices in the area of youth empowerment and supporting young people\u2019s personal and professional development – facilitating networking between partner promoters and development of strategies for the future joint projects aimed at youth empowerment.<\/p>\n
