The closing event of “Rise with Love, Shine with Confidence”, the winning project of the 9th grant competition on Development and Innovation in Education held by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan, took place in a positive atmosphere.

Over six months, a series of training sessions on “Emotional Intelligence and Therapeutic Tales” was conducted to develop students’ emotional intelligence, self-awareness, empathy, communication skills and self-confidence. Interactive sessions and practical activities contributed to the participants’ individual and social development.

Appreciation was expressed to the partners, psychologists, teachers and the BMTK administration who contributed to the project. The organisers expressed confidence that the knowledge and skills gained would support children’s development as healthier, happier and more self-confident individuals.
