Nowadays information is wide accessible thanks to internet and the new technologies. You can learn a lot of knowledge, models and techniques if you want, have time, and have access to basic equipment/connexion. These facilities in the communication are changing the way we are and work, having a bigger impact in the younger generations. They provide same advantages, and at the same time, bring new questions we need to deal with as people working with youth (as workers or volunteers). This is why In this training, we will explore together three very different areas (Emotions, New technologies / social media, and Nature) with the following objectives: 1. To gain basic understanding of new challenges brings from the new technologies and social media to young people. 2. To raise awareness about emotional intelligence meaning and development. 3. To discover mindfulness as a tool for development. 4. To explore the added value of nature and discover that is possible to combine it with the use of the new technologies and emotional intelligence. 5. To develop new skills and strategies to be able to better support young people in becoming more confident and entrepreneur in your community. 6. To promote cooperation between the different partners after the course. 7. To promote the Erasmus+ programme as a tool for working with young people.
