EMO2C: Strenghtening Emotional and Social Competences

On 21st of February 2022, the Dutch Foundation of Innovation Welfare 2 Work participated in the first Online meeting of the EMO2C project. The vision and objective of this brand new project is to strengthen the emotional and social competences of the target groups, so that this personal empowerment serves as a basis for the development of technical and professional skills.

EU Youth Unemployment

Youth unemployment (people under 25) has an average rate of 17,5% in the whole of Europe. In the South Mediterranean countries it’s even worse, according Eurostat. The vision and objective of the EMO2C project is to strengthen the emotional and social competences of the target groups, so that this personal empowerment serves as a basis for the development of technical and professional skills. The target group in one hand are the youngsters looking for a job, and looking for an opportunity (not NEETs in this case) and the teachers and trainers who will help them to develop these skills.

EU Partnership: 7 Partners

The partnership is formed by several entities from different countries. INDEPCIE from Spain (coordinator), AKMI from Greece, Efektas Group from Lithuania, VAEV from Austria, Igor Vitale International from Italy and the Dutch Foundation of Innovation Welfare 2 Work from the Netherlands. During the OnLine kick off Meeting on February 21st 2022, the first tasks and responsibilities have been set. The partner in charge of the first Project Result, AKMI explained the steps to start develop correctly the Training System, the PR at issue. Another interesting part of the project is the development of the Workshop regarding the importance of Emotional Intelligence nowadays, especially in the labour environment. During the OnLine meeting the partners discussed and pointed out the lack of importance given to this matter when we talk about the job sphere.
