EvsMOTIONS

“EvsMOTIONS” is second activity from our long term project “VOLUNTEERING GOES EUROPE” With this training course we aim to ensure quality standards within network of organizations working with European Voluntary Service (EVS)

Our experience shows that EVS mentors/tutors/facilitators need to have more skills and knowledge how to give support to the volunteers, especially in a context of emotional management and stress relief. This training will be chance to develop their competences, especially in context of – learning to learn – philosophy that will enable them to deliver of better quality support within their future work.

The objectives of this training course are:
– To empower mentors/tutors/facilitators to be aware of their own difficult-to-handle fillings that arise during their work with EVS volunteers with fewer opportunities;
– To learn ways to self-assess and develop own emotional competencies
– To introduce the concept of emotional intelligence and its relevance for professional and personal development
– To develop and to integrate the L2L competences from a perspective of emotional management in the work with EVS volunteers
– To develop the self awareness regarding his/her own limits, character & personality and its impact on the EVS mentoring/facilitating process and learning preferences
