Project idea:
The aim of the development project is to carry out a joint development within the consortium and to
create the Handbook with tools for adult educators working with social risk families, abusers, asylum
seekers, NEETs and other disadvantaged groups on Emotional Management.
The 95 % of the people with whom the staff of VšĮ Žmogiškųjų išteklių stebėsenos ir plėtros biuras
has worked in their interventions, trainings (implementing violence reduction programme, training on
selfhelp methods) have expressed their problems being related to the inability to express emotions,
anger in a proper way thus resulting in arguments, outbursts of abuse, violence, bullying or
depression as a consequence, etc. The fact is that since the very childhood in the process of
socialization people are usually taught to suppress emotions and this affects deeply their welfare,
quality of life, relations, behaviour. In order to meet these detected needs, the following goals are
established:
- Prepare the Emotional Management tools for adult educators (Handbook).
- To raise awareness among adult educators on the relevance of Emotional Management
(Conference).
The Emotional Management is a rather new domain where there are many aspects to be explored.
Thus,
the organisations involved consider that the best way to do it is working together with other, sharing
ideas and learning from each other since we have different social backgrounds and experience.
In order to reach the goals of the project 5 international meetings will be organised each of them
being
devoted for the creation of separate sections of the Handbook.
