Emotions play a critical role in the overall quality of each individual’s life – both in the personal and professional sphere – and consequently in the overall quality of social interactions. That is why Emotional Intelligence is so important while working with vulnerable groups, like young people.

The project “Emotional Intelligence in Youth Work” has developed an up-to-date and sustainable concept for educational opportunities for young people. It is unique for the purpose of supporting the nurturing of Emotional Intelligence for a better life.

Moreover, the project developed a parallel curriculum for youth workers, on the basis of the results of work with youth groups. The aim is to support and increase their ability to tap into their Emotional Intelligence at a personal and professional level.

The programme included exercises inspired by Contact Improvisation, Theatre, Mindfulness, Sensory Journey and other techniques designed to awaken different senses, connect with the body and emotions and give space for exploring the meaning of a relationship with ourselves and the other. Participants went on a journey of reconnecting with their bodies and emotions so that they can understand more and respond better to the needs of the community, especially youngsters who no longer use their bodies as a primary source of information. The method is a tool for reconnecting with the physical part of self and relearning the importance and role of our senses in developing meaningful relationships.

Sensory Labyrinth Theatre is a form of a theatre where performers and audience share the journey of discovering and creating a community where trust, connection, solidarity, and creation are the key values.
