EMOTIONAL EDUCATION . 2025 . FRANCE
Exploring emotions through art, movement, and connection.
Feeling overwhelmed? Need a creative break? Our Erasmus Plus training course ''Emotional Education'' might be the one for you!
In November we will gather a group of twenty-four people among youth workers, educators, and artists from across Europe for a ten-day Erasmus+ training on emotional intelligence and creative learning.
Set in the peaceful French countryside, in the region of Lot (46), the project will invite participants to slow down, to listen, and to explore what emotions can teach us — about ourselves, about others, and about the way we work and live together.
Through art, movement, body awareness, and group processes, we will dive into the world of emotions: their colors, their rhythms, their hidden messages. Participants will experiment with artistic tools and experiential methods that help to recognise, express, and regulate emotions — both in personal and professional contexts.

METHODOLOGY
The training will combine moments of artistic exploration, collective reflection, and non-formal education, offering a space to connect head, heart, and hands. In practice we will bring together movement, theatre, visual facilitation, cooperative games, and guided reflection to connect body, mind, and emotions. Together, we will explore how emotional education can support the development of empathy, resilience, and authentic communication in oneself first, and in youth work and creative practice then.
More than a workshop, Emotional Education will be a shared journey — a laboratory of human connection, where curiosity, play, and vulnerability become our teachers.
