“How Can We Develop Our Emotional Intelligence?”

As part of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University’s Peer Counseling program, an “Emotional Intelligence Workshop” was conducted by Prof. Dr. Fatma Elif Ergin, a faculty member of our department, with the aim of increasing students’ emotional awareness, supporting healthy communication skills, and strengthening peer interaction. Organized with the participation of students selected from various departments and our department, the workshop addressed topics such as recognizing and managing emotions, developing empathy, coping with stress, and effective communication through interactive methods. Participants had the opportunity to both explore their own emotional processes and create a safe space for sharing with their peers through small-group activities and hands-on exercises.
