Developing Emotional IntelligenceErasmus+ course summary
Being a teacher has never been only about lecturing facts to a group of students. By spending time with your students you have an unique position to have a direct impact on their life. This is especially relevant in cases where students don’t have good role models in their lives. It is important, they have someone who connects with them. To do this, we provide you with tools to work with the students’ psychological needs. With this Erasmus+ course on Developing Emotional Intelligence we are developing the competencies of teachers for building emotional capacity of their students. We do this trough activities that are ready to use in the classroom. Because the program of the course is a mix of theoretical knowledge supported by practical activities it enables the participants to deepen their understanding through their own experience. "Education is not just about putting information in. We have forgotten that it, in fact, begins in the child’s heart." – Vince Gowmon
