E-Motion

This is a mobility for youth workers project, targeting organizations working with young people, in order for them to reflect about Emotional Education as an education tool, in order to boost social change and improve skills as youth workers in this field.

Educative system does not offer any answer to personal emotional needs, because it prioritizes academic contents dictated every year with the same methodology.

In our daily job with youth we realize that there are some need that we can work on it with emotional education:

• Lack of tools to work about emotions in our everyday life.

• Key to change the society in the future.

• Increasing of psychological problems in the last years.

In this course we will discuss the importance of emotional education for the educational process of the young people, and how we can use emotional education for the social change.
