During the courses we used innovative ways: brainstorming, watching tapes, informal language, body language. Finally all the parents involved in the course showed different motivations: some of them showed to face children’s difficult behaviour (lack of self-confidence, aggressiveness , etc..), some others showed the simple curiosity to know what the emotional intelligence was. All parents try to improve their own capability to take care of children’s needs. To involve parents, in a first time was not really easy but after the first debate they decided, together with the trainer, that it could be better for all them. “JOIN US” PARTNERS: 1) SCHOOL NR. 24 “ST.GEORGE” - ROMANIA (Coordinating Organisation) 2) YOUTH AWARENESS – COSCIENZA GIOVANILE - ITALY (Participating Organisation) 3) ATATURK SECONDARY SCHOOL FAMILY ASS. - TURKEY- 4) ASSOCIAZIONE SCARABEUS - ITALY - COSCIENZA GIOVANILE Via Delle Querce, 17 85100 - Potenza (Pz) - ITALY Tel.\Fax 0039-0971-55117 C.F. 96043310760 JOIN US !
