Furthermore, collaboration, exchange of ideas and best practices with partners from European countries about a common problem of education, is a useful tool to identify common benefits for all participating countries, which go beyond the limits of their schools and their countries. Six preschools from four different European countries (Italy, Sweden, Greece and Bulgaria) will discuss the best practices used by each of the schools with the aim of defining the guidelines and a socio-emotional map and design games and instructional and educational tools that can help teachers to develop in students, above all in those with emotional, social and / or psychological distress, empathy emotional alphabets, self-awareness and social reflection, surpassing methodologies merely broadcasting in favor of cooperative, active, workshops, metacognitive approaches.

An initial survey among teachers, parents and pupils will indicate what are the major difficulties in the teaching / learning of socio-emotional skills; analyzing the results of the survey and choosing the best practices from each school, will be formulated guidelines, a socio-emotional map and educational tools, that will be published in a book in digital format entitled "Guide to EMOTIONS" that together with all the material of the project will be published on the project website (www.emotions.eu) from which all interested parties may inspect and obtain copies freely.
