This project is for 20 youth workers, youth leaders and activists interested in improving their interpersonal skills
Summary of the project
What if we explore ways of communicating with others that unlock defences? Our emotions are key to understanding what we need and help us determine our positions and strategies to get them fulfilled. Understanding is a beautiful and necessary step before expressing yourself. All these ideas in the framework of building interpersonal relations from the non-violence we will explore in the beautiful town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid.
