Our aim was to develop core competencies of participants in the fields of emotional and social intelligence in order to become self-aware and self-reliant adults. The main activity of our project - youth exchange gathered 26 young people from Slovakia, Latvia, Russia, and Armenia to create a space and conditions where they gain basic tools and an understanding of the interconnectedness and uniqueness of this world. The specific objectives of the youth exchange were the following: - To develop self-discovery, self-connection, and stress resistance competencies of participants through non-formal learning methods - To strengthen body-mind-emotion interconnectedness as a holistic approach to healthy life and wellbeing - To raise participants’ awareness and sensitivity towards environmentally conscious behaviour to be implemented in their everyday life - To develop participants’ competencies in intercultural learning, communication, and dialogue in interactions with their peers - To form a network among like-minded organizations and develop follow-up projects on the similar topics
