To be able to create a workbook and MOOCs, the following operations are being performed:
- Migration of young workers – Trento ITALY
- EIquiz
- Transcontinental job mobility
- EMICOMIX

- Project goals and objectives:
By training and implementing Emotional Intelligence (EI), the project enhances listening and mediation – which is important when working with young people. EMpath4YOUth helps participants understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, thereby creating and maintaining positive relationships and making responsible decisions.
The project is intended to:
- Help young people realize problems that may exist in groups as well as solve problems to better approach and learn something new and interesting from youth
- Help young workers and participants find the interaction and interesting content of the workshops.
- Help identify labor groups. Realize that each team has its own strengths and weaknesses, and maintain a confident work ethic.
- Help young people reach countries with different cultures when they know the language of emotions.
