Within the framework of the project, we implemented two activities together with short trainings, with the participation of Hungarian and Italian youth workers. The focus of this project was on developing the social and emotional learning (SEL) skills of the participants and equipping them with the tools, techniques and methods they will be able to develop the social and emotional skills of the young people they work with. Our goals with this project were: - developing the competencies of the participants in the implementation of social and emotional development programs and trainings for young people; - providing insight into youth work in the participating countries (Italy, Hungary); - an innovative and improved way to successfully interact with target groups, providing participants with proven and well-functioning techniques to work effectively with young people and improve their emotional intelligence; - ensuring a better understanding of the links between formal and non-formal education and the labor market; - improving the quality of the work and activities of the participating youth workers; - better understanding and response to social, linguistic and cultural diversity; - the ability to meet the needs of the disadvantaged; - increased professional and career development opportunities for participating youth workers; - improved foreign language competences; - increased motivation in the daily activities of the participating youth workers; - supporting and initiating further contacts between youth organizations through new EU / international projects; - a more modern, dynamic, committed and professional environment within the participating youth organizations. Through our project, we also undertook to compile a SEL practice collection, which would draw the attention of professionals and lay people to the importance of the SEL approach in youth work, and by publishing non-pre-qualified SEL practices to give everyone a chance to try them out in the future.
