“The Hidden Power of Emotional Intelligence” is a youth exchange conceptualized, developed and organized by young people. Each day follows a specific theme in order to give participants a logical and natural flow of sessions to open themselves up to new experiences, understanding, and knowledge leading to the development of Emotional Intelligence. The sessions are based on non-formal education learning, including methods such as gamified learning, theater, non-violent communication or role-play activities, motivating participants to work on, develop and discuss emotional intelligence. Young people have the chance to take control over their learning process and understand how they learn and keep track of their competence development.

Objectives:
- Learn about the most important components of emotional intelligence, the reasons why it’s important and how it can benefit us and the societies we live in
