As part of the Erasmus+ European Commission, "EQ in Intercultural Sensitivity: The difference that makes the difference", was a 6 day Youth Exchange held between the 28th March 2016 and 4th April 2016 in Sliema, Malta. The Salesian Oratory hosted 4 youth leaders and 29 young participants from Malta, Lithuania, and Czech Republic.From the promoters experience, it has shown that when a person deals with culturally sensitive issues, one has no choice but to be as careful and as patient as possible. Every concern should be addressed properly, otherwise, greater problems emerge at later times, when it might be too late. The objective of this Youth Exchange was to meet these needs by developing, testing and disseminating an Intercultural path to be provided to as many young people as possible before, during, and after any opportunity that they want to experience abroad through the various Erasmus+ Key Actions. These opportunities, will encourage learning mobility and support, and enable young people to benefit as much as possible from their international experiences in terms of personal growth and intercultural competencies. Therefore, we need to acknowledge that each one of us must develop the mature emotional intelligence (EQ) skills required to better understand, empathise, tolerate and negotiate with other people through social dialogue, otherwise, success will elude us in our lives and careers. It is essential nowadays to develop and improve our intercultural competence with emphasis on intercultural sensitiveness because we do not have to travel to another country to face a different culture, different cultures come to us, and different cultures are around us. That is a really positive change, nevertheless, we have to learn to handle our fears and learn to understand, tolerate and accept each other and to learn to live together. As youth leaders we have to be prepared for that and provide support for young people to become inter-culturally sensitive for each other and go through the phases of intercultural sensitiveness and understand their and others’ reactions. Through non-formal and in-formal education, this Youth Exchange gave these young people the possibility to develop their values, skills and competencies others than the ones developed in the framework of formal education. Those skills (also called ‘soft skills’ ) include a wide range of competencies such as interpersonal, team, organisational and conflict management, intercultural awareness, leadership, planning, organising, coordination and practical problem solving skills, teamwork, self-confidence, discipline and responsibility. Through the workshops, the intercultural evenings and team building, these young participants contributed towards strengthening social ties among communities and thereby nurtures individual as well as organisational self-esteem and ultimately their well being. "EQ in Intercultural Sensitivity: The difference that makes the difference" helped motivate participants to remain active citizens in their respective European Community involving themselves in both local and international projects and activities will stimulate young people and youth workers/leaders of a particular youth community and youth organisation, to host new projects with one goal in mind: to communicate more effectively through social dialogue, challenge stakeholders and conventions and look for new ways to stand out. The project was followed by a special input of intercultural learning, through which the participants had the opportunity to explore the diversity of cultures and ensure cultural awareness.
