Emotional Intelligence is also known as EI, and it has significant importance for people’s personal and professional development. It is believed that emotionally intelligent people have the capability to take control over their own lives, keep optimistic, work effectively and be driven by a sense of ambition for success regardless of obstacles. As Daniel Goleman suggests, “Emotional intelligence is another kind of brainpower, but rather than helping us solve puzzles it possesses the ability to harness and manage emotions, recognize others’ emotions and understand the relationship between thoughts and emotions. According to Daniel Goleman, emotional intelligence has five key pillars: Self-awareness, self-regulation, Self-motivation, Empathy and Social skills. In a hectic world where technology is evolving at a faster rate, where artificial intelligence (AI) and robots are able to handle basic humans’ tasks, where conflicts and wars routinely break out, and where long-term relationships seem to be harder to maintain, emotional intelligence is more important than ever. Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to an individual's capability to understand, manage, and use their own emotions and those of the people around them in positive ways. A number of studies illustrate that EI has a more important role than Intelligence quotient (IQ) when it comes to succeeding in school, university or workplace. Even though only some people have naturally good EI skills, it is possible for everyone to develop their EI with the support of specific education. In the last two decades, the concept of EI has been embraced by a significant number of educators and educational institutions, in the form of programmes focusing on ‘social & emotional learning (SEL) skills It is worth mentioning that In 2002 UNESCO launched a worldwide initiative to promote SEL, emphasizing on the importance of someone mastering these essential skills for living; in addition to this, many US states have introduced SEL learning as mandatory in the curriculum. Hence, Emotional intelligence is important in forming and developing people’s growth, which is why psychologists have suggested teaching EI in schools because emotionally intelligent children grow up to become emotionally intelligent adults and productive and compassionate members of society. There are a number of benefits of strong emotional intelligence including better communication, teamwork, adaptability, leadership, and motivation which has become even more important in the COVID-19 pandemic affected the world, which also harms young people and affected their emotional and mental well-being. Hence, based on the above-mentioned, we decided to develop the youth exchange FOR, WITH, and BY the young people. The overall aim of the proposed project is to empower participants with new innovative competencies and develop their understanding of Emotional Intelligence. Hereby our objectives are to: - EMPOWER young people with innovative skills, develop employability attitudes, resilience, a personal, professional, and social sense of initiative; - ENHANCE self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, creativity, and innovativeness of the participants and increasetheir open-mindedness and leadership as active citizens; - ENHANCE intercultural dialogue by exchanging common values and interests between Programme and Partner countries; - PROMOTE Erasmus+ opportunities and establish networking between EU and Partner countries for future joint projects. The planned youth exchange integrated into this proposal therefore is based on the needs and wishes of the participants and partners. It fully corresponds with the aims and objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme and EU
