E-motional (full!)

About

The modern times we are living in are emotionally challenging and the effects of stress and life's difficulties are increasingly visible. Young people often are unable to deal with their feelings, not speaking of seeking help when facing mental health challenges. In today's “interconnected” world full of uncertainties, hate  speech, even violent extremism, it is crucial to support the connection with ourselves and our feelings so we are able to build connections with other people and participate actively in society. 

Through ”E-motional” youth workers are going to learn to recognize and to develop their inner resources in order to create transformational and sustainable learning  environments for supporting youth inclusion in social and professional life with focus on emotional intelligence.

Expectations

Stay in contact

When you are selected, we will be in contact with each other via email and Whatsapp. You receive all the necessary information via e-mail. Whatsapp will be used for sending reminders, sharing photos and information about the Instagram take over. If quick answers are needed or last minute information need to be distributed, we also use Whatsapp. 

Price

There is a participation fee for this project of 30 - 50 euros paid on arrival.

Erasmus+ provides a fixed budget for transport for bus, tram, train or plane of maximum 275 euros (or 320 euros for green travel: no plane). If your transport to and from the youth exchange stays within this budget, you pay nothing. If you go over the budget you will have to pay for the difference. Reimbursement is only possible when we are in possession of a signed information note, your personal details and all original tickets/boarding passes as proof of transport costs incurred.

Food and accommodation are included only during the announced project dates. Overnight stays outside this period is at your own costs. 

Transport

We expect you to draw up your own itinerary and travel plan. JOETZ supports you in this where necessary. You pay yourself in advance for transport costs. Reimbursement takes place approximately three months after the end of the project (see above). Deadline for buying and showing your tickets is 01/02/2023.
