OPEN YOUR HEART

There are many reasons why the society should consider norturing emotional intelligence and empathy to young people.
In basic terms, empathy is the ability to be able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and to understand person’s emotions and feeling. And emotional intelligence is defined as being able to understand one’s feelings and being able to control one’s
own emotions and exercise self control. During workshops participants will get to know themselves and become able to accurately perceive their emotions and stay aware of them as they will learn to master those emotions that negatively influence their decisions and understand other people’s moods, behavior and motives in order to improve the quality of relationships.

Through some seminars the participants will learn on importance of social awareness at a wider scale which will be shown through ecological lifestyle and recycling of plastic. The participants will connect with their peers from various cultures and discover a part of their own character. With debates¨ presentations¨ individual and group work¨ participants will learn how to develop their own opinion¨ defend it but still respect others.
