About the project
Emotional & Artificial Intelligence – Personal and Digital Transformation for Youth Workers is a project that combines emotional awareness with digital innovation, aiming to equip youth workers with tools that enhance both their personal growth and professional capacities. Through a unique blend of non-formal education, mindfulness practices, and AI training, the project promotes transformation on both human and technological levels.
The project is funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme, which supports education, training, youth and sport initiatives across Europe, fostering inclusion, cooperation and lifelong learning.

Emotional & Artificial Intelligence – Personal and Digital Transformation for Youth Workers bridges emotional intelligence (EI) and artificial intelligence (AI) to support the personal and professional development of youth workers. By combining digital literacy, mindfulness, and non-formal learning, the program provides a holistic approach to transformation in youth work.
