#Emotional Intelligence

The Empathy Project

Part A
Assessment Task 3:
Group Project (40%)

UCM60103 Emotional Intelligence in Action

 The Empathy Project
Under your module, Emotional Intelligence in Action, you will
undergo a team project to develop empathy, alongside putting
leadership, teamwork, and other social competencies into
action.

It is a great opportunity for you to work together to reach out to

the community around you by bringing awareness, based on an
assigned format.

Students will be encouraged to “Consult the Community”. This

means that when designing the project, you should not only
reflect on how you would understand your chosen community,
but also speak to a person who is either from that community or
working to support them.

In learning about their experiences, your project will become

more successful in exploring solutions/kindness/support.
