🧠 Caring Connections: Recognising Emotional Intelligence

(EN)

The Erasmus+ training course Caring Connections: Recognising Emotional Intelligence gathered youth workers from Croatia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Lithuania, and North Macedonia to explore how emotional intelligence can strengthen relationships and communication in youth work.

The program was designed for those working with young people facing various social, economic, or emotional challenges. Participants learned to recognize emotions as valuable tools for motivation, problem-solving, and empathy in non-formal education settings.

Through workshops, group reflection, and teamwork, participants developed three practical teaching modules:

1. Arts & Individuals – focusing on self-expression through creative arts;

2. Trust & Connection – building confidence and relationships through shared experiences;

3. Emotions – understanding and managing emotions for personal growth.

These modules can be used in schools, NGOs, and youth centers to help young people build resilience, self-awareness, and emotional balance. The exchange of good practices also introduced the LYBER project methodology, offering new perspectives on relational learning and emotional education.

The training course proved that caring, empathy, and awareness are at the heart of strong communities — and that emotional skills can be taught, practiced, and multiplied.

🧠 Emocionalne veze: prepoznavanje emocionalne inteligencije

(HR)

Erasmus+ trening Caring Connections: Recognising Emotional Intelligence okupio je osobe koje rade s mladima iz Hrvatske, Italije, Španjolske, Turske, Litve i Sjeverne Makedonije s ciljem istraživanja načina na koje emocionalna inteligencija može ojačati odnose i komunikaciju u radu s mladima.

Program je bio namijenjen osobama koje rade s mladima u nepovoljnim, ranjivim ili osjetljivim situacijama. Sudionici su učili kako emocije mogu postati moćan alat za motivaciju, rješavanje sukoba i razvijanje empatije u neformalnom obrazovanju.

Kroz radionice, timski rad i razmjenu praksi, sudionici su osmislili tri praktična modula:

1. Umjetnost i pojedinac – izražavanje emocija kroz kreativnost i umjetnost;

2. Povjerenje i povezanost – razvoj međusobnog povjerenja i timskog duha;

3. Emocije – razumijevanje i upravljanje emocijama za osobni razvoj.

Moduli su primjenjivi u školama, udrugama i centrima za mlade te pomažu mladima u razvoju otpornosti, samosvijesti i emocionalne ravnoteže. Sudionici su upoznali i LYBER metodologiju koja potiče razvoj socijalnih i emocionalnih vještina kroz iskustveno učenje.

Projekt je pokazao da su briga, empatija i svjesnost temelj svake zajednice te da se emocionalne vještine mogu učiti i prenositi.
