A youth exchange about emotional intelligence and empathy
A youth exchange about emotional intelligence and empathy
By exploring the issues of the young people from different communities we concluded that they have a low level of awareness of their emotions, they confront with poor understanding of others’ messages, have little adaptability in unfamiliar contexts; do not have opportunities to open up in a safe and trusting environment and have a low quality of their relationships.
The project will address the following needs of the young participants: understanding and managing their own emotions, coping with emotions in stressful situations; building self-esteem; increasing adaptability in unfamiliar contexts; improving communication; increasing accuracy in interpreting others’ messages; interacting in intercultural context; practicing their English; creating friendships that cross the barriers of the country; learning about Erasmus+ programme and the opportunities that it offers.
For whom?
For whom?
The project is available for anyone who is interested in the topic of emotional intelligence and empathy and is willing to work on the needs described above. NO high level of English is required to participate; moreover, the project will help in the development of English speaking skills. None of the participants or facilitators is native English speakers, so there is nothing to be afraid of 😊😊
The group componence will be the following:
Romania: 10 young participants aged 18-25 and 3 group leaders aged over 18.
Hungary: 10 young participants aged 18-25 and 2 group leaders aged over 18.
Slovakia: 10 young participants aged 18-25 and 2 group leaders aged over 18.
Czech Republic: 10 young participants aged 18-25 and 3 group leaders aged over 18.
Location
Location
The youth exchange will take place in Izvoare, a small town which lies in the heart of Transylvania. It is surrounded by the beautiful Transylvanian mountains and provides a breathtaking view of nature. The accommodation is one hour walk to the Zetea dam and lake. It represents the perfect place to connect with nature and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the place.
For the accommodation, we will face the facility of “Pension Irgo”, which provides modern looking but in the same time traditional decorations, free time spaces and a conference room. It is a place sourounded by nature and beautiful landscapes.
Accommodation will be arranged in rooms for 5 people each, gender separated. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served at the same location every day, plus the coffee breaks. Each room has its own bathroom. Please bring your own towels, as the acoomodation won’t provide those.
Being located in an isolated area, the venue won’t provide internet. However, if you have roaming you will be able to make calls or use internet. The good news is that in Romania you can get a SIM card with 100GB of mobile data for as low as 6 EUR. Please check in out here.
You can buy the SIM card in any Orange Shop in Romania and ask there for activation. You do not need an ID card to buy it and you do not need to connect a credit card to it in order to pay. Once you leave Romania the SIM card will be deactivated automatically because you won’t top it up anymore.

Intercultural evenings
Each country is expected to prepare a short program to present their culture and eventually to bring some typical local drinks and snacks. The intercultural evening is the time when participants have the opportunity to get to know each other’s culture better in an informal context. We encourage the participants to be as creative as possible in presenting their culture, to use theatre, dances or live presentations. We do not provide video-projector for this event and any kind of promotional video or power point presentation will be presented exclusively in spare time.

All the participants are required to have a valid travel insurance for the whole period of the projects including the travel days. The insurance must cover:
