The Municipal Personal Development Program for young people in Chisinau continues to offer valuable sessions for developing emotional skills and stress management. Recent activities have focused on two age groups, each with interactive discussions and exercises designed to improve participants’ ability to manage emotions and cope with daily challenges.
For 14-17 year olds, the central theme was “Managing emotions: techniques for stress and anxiety”. Together with trainer Victoria Chicu, participants explored key topics such as emotional intelligence and the origins of emotions. The session included practical exercises to identify and manage emotions, as well as discussions about the sources of stress and techniques to control it. “An interactive session full of valuable learning”, said the organizers, underlining the positive impact of the activities on young people.

For young people between 18 and 35, psychologist Alesia Guzun led a session dedicated to managing emotions and stress, focusing on emotional intelligence, empathy and emotional balance. Participants learned how the body’s reactions to stress are influenced by hormones and one’s own actions, and focused on key factors in stress resilience: engagement, controlling internal reactions and seeing problems as challenges. The young people also had the opportunity to self-assess their emotional intelligence through specific tests, an exercise which helped them to get to know themselves better and develop their ability to manage emotions in a healthy way.
The Municipal Personal Development Program continues to play an important role in educating young people in Chisinau, providing them with the necessary tools to develop harmoniously and cope with everyday stress.
